I’m hiring for a sales rep so if y’all know anyone looking send them my way. OTE year one around 100k and around 150-200k by year two.

While the NCAA closely guards how much their referees earn, Sportscasting reports that officials are given a tier pay rather than a salary for March Madness.

Rates change depending on how late into the tournament they are allowed to officiate, Sportscasting reports.

"They earn $1,000 per game during the first rounds, $1,400 for the regional finals, and $2,000 for officiating in any Final Four games," according to Sportscasting. "This can be an ample opportunity to pad more pay at the end of the season."

In late 2021, the NCAA announced that basketball officials in the women's tournament would be paid the same as the referees in the men's tournament again.

Here are some articles from the various local newspapers and from the Memory Book published that Summer on the trip to the NCAA tournament in 1982:
-----------------------------------

From the Memory Book “All the Way to the NCAA” prepared for Raider fans to preserve a basketball season that never had been equaled at this university:

On Sunday, March 7, the decision makers on the NCAA’s national basketball tourney committee prepared a bracket, which, for all intents and purposes, was to force a “Dream Game” between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Louisville Cardinals, two of the country’s top basketball teams.

As a build up to “The Game,” Kentucky was to dispose of the Ohio Valley Tournament champion, Middle Tennessee.

Even before the Wildcat-Blue Raider game, everyone had latched on to the “Dream Game” hype. The CBS television network, which was broadcasting the extravaganza, prayed this match up that had not come about in 23 years would really materialize. It did not, though, and the CBS crews had to scramble to promo the new “Cinderella Game.”
