Right around 98 officials are selected from conferences all over the country to work the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

Year after year, a lot of the same refs advance to work in the opening rounds of the tournament and then on to later rounds.

They make take in a nice amout of pocket change for working these games.

$1000 is paid for first-/second-/third-round games, $1,400 fee per regional game, $2,000 per national semifinal or championship game.

All travel expenses and per diem are covered as well for as long as the officials are working games.

A nice amount of bonus money for these guys that work 70-95 games per season.
