First up, for the hardcore basketball fan, consider getting them DVDs of their favorite college team playing (and preferably winning) games in the 2007 NCAA College Basketball Tournament. If your team didn't make it or didn't do so well, consider also some of the classic NCAA tournament moments. and digging into the classic DVD archives sold on Amazon by CSTV.
