Why do we care if the players' shirts are tucked in?

Because the rules say so! Can you say the same about the refs' shirts?

Fine, Mr. Smarty-pants. So why do we have the rule?

Because it's our job to care. What's your point because you're comparing apples to oranges here.

I'm kind of curious as to why the NCAA or one of the sponsors doesn't just provide uniforms for the Final Four officials to wear. It's certainly cheap enough compared to the amount of money the NCAA is earning.

Or is the wearing of different uniforms considered colorful, like in All-star games where each player wears their own home or away uniform instead of a league provided all-star uniform? Sort of emphasizing how each official is from a different conference, or something like that?
