Deep Look: Ultimate On ESPN & College’s March Madness (Easterns & Centex) — Episode 15

This week’s Deep Look is in two parts.

Part One: USA Ultimate’s announcement of a new broadcast deal with ESPN was greeted with excitement and enthusiasm from players across the country.

In the women’s division, can the North Central teams challenge the Northwest for dominance?
