There are roughly 800 student athletes on the 68 basketball teams competing for the title of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. Behind the hard work, long practices and team spirit, there is an entire business aspect that interests insurance agents.

Since 2005, the NCAA requires all universities to verify that each of their student athletes has medical insurance in place for potential injuries before they can compete in games or participate in practice and team workouts.
