The NCAA should deregulate its policy about players profiting from the NCAA, so that they can earn a fair wage for the work that they do. Overall, from a financial standpoint the NCAA generates

College Athletes Should be Paid to Play College sports coming to an end with another emotional chutes and ladders match between the best teams within the NCAA.

Although a 10-seed defeating a 7-seed hardly commands the word
