NCAA Tournament Referees. Referees seek to make it to the postseason just as teams do. Any referee chosen to officiate in the NCAA tournament earns $1,000 per game in the first three rounds. Referees earn $1,400 for officiating in the regional finals, and $2,000 for officiating in any of the Final Four games.uring the course of these five months, referees might officiate more than 50 games. Some officiate as many as 100 games per season. In-demand referees can earn as much as $2,000 for each game.
On average, these coaches make $823,000 per year while a student-athlete only receives roughly $20,000 per year in aid. Given these numbers, itâs easy to see why many people believe scholarship student-athletes are exploited by the NCAA.
