College basketball seniors eligible to be payed for first time in tournament
This March, for the first time ever, college players will publicly and officially be paid to play basketball.
Back in August, news came down about an enterprising, long-overdue idea that would bring more attention and fanfare to the Final Four: a 3-on-3 tournament featuring college basketball seniors who would be playing for a sizable money prize. Now, less than two months from Final Four weekend, we have the details. Intersport, the marketing company behind the event, released the particulars Monday morning.
It’s going to be called the 3X3U National Championship, it’s sponsored by Dos Equis, and most importantly every college senior in the country — who won’t be playing in the Final Four — is up for selection.
