Maguire University Traveling Team
NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2026
Indianapolis, Indiana – April 2–7, 2026

Dear Maguire University Traveling Team,

It is time once again for March Madness – Maguire style!

We are pleased to announce the official travel and lodging arrangements for the Maguire University/NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2026. This year’s event will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, from Thursday, April 2nd through Tuesday, April 7th, 2026.

We are a little later than usual getting our location and pricing to you. The delay came down to one weighty decision: whether to split into four or five different hotels in downtown Indianapolis, or to keep the entire Traveling Team together in one location. After careful consideration, we’ve decided the best move is to stay together under one roof – keeping the spirit, camaraderie, and fun of Maguire alive and well.

Our home base will be:

Hello Facebook Nation/Meta,
Very sad day today! Rest in peace Charlie Kirk you are in GOD’s hands now. My prayers go out to him, his family and all who knew him and loved him.
If you didn’t know him he was a man of GOD. He believed in life everlasting and a beautiful and forgiving GOD. He was a follower and warrior for Jesus Christ and faith evelasting.
Turning Point USA has a follower in myself and it’s time for all of us to speak out now that one of the voices of good has been silenced by evil.
My emotions right now are all over the map. A thirty-one (31) year old who has not been afraid to talk and defend his faith, his belief in Jesus Christ, his belief in debating/talking to all who disagreed with him, his faith and political views. Time for all of us to stand up the same way!
Charlie I will never forget you! You were an inspiration to a sixty-five (65) year old conservative male from Chicago who has recently gone back to the Catholic church thanks to you and a few others (including my wife) who have been influential in my life going forward.
I will miss you! You will not be forgotten in the Duffy household!
Everlasting life with GOD Charlie Kirk!
Arthur Duffy
