As the Ball is on the Ring along rolled, but not through the basket fell and one of the biggest sensations of the College Sports of the recent years, not just watched in the United States, millions of people. Currently March Madness”time again “. 64 College Basketball teams, the best play among them. For the Americans, the tournament is, it can be stated without Exaggeration that, Holy. The big favorite this year, the Duke University, failed on the last Sunday in the second round almost at the University of Central Florida (UCF), a stark outsider. At the end of the Duke Blue Devils won with 77:76, because Aubrey Dawkins of the UCF failed at the last second, and the shortest distance.

The everlasting connectedness of many viewers with their University, the irrepressible desire of these young student athletes and the Scouting of the next great Stars of the North American professional League NBA make College Basketball, and thus the “March Madness” to a Mega-business. Thanks to the TV money, ratings and Ticket and Merchandising sales to astronomical sums of money to be implemented. The games are held, often in front of more than 20,000 spectators.

The FBI made 2017 investigations to the public, according to which Sean Miller, the coach of the Basketball team of the University of Arizona, the players DeAndre Ayton offered $ 100,000 to decide for his Arizona Wildcats. Experts believe that kickbacks, as these are paid for years, and a much more frequent basis, as it is going on from the Reports of the FBI.
