Every March, true basketball fans across America are struck with a fever that is known as “March Madness®.” Few of the fans who fall victim to this illness and few of the pundits who blithely throw this catch phrase around, however, realize that the words “March Madness®” and the Internet domain name “marchmadness.com” are protected property. According to a recent federal district court decision, however, this trademark and domain name are the exclusive property of the March Madness Athletic Association, L.L.C. (“MMAA”). March Madness Athletic Assn., LLC v. Netfire, Inc., 162 F.Supp.2d 560 (N.D. Tex. 2003) (“the federal district court action”).

Yes. See my link below.
Similarly, the Super Bowl is copyrighted, so bars have parties for "the Big Game" in order to avoid paying for or violating the copyright.
