This isn't okay. And the fact that for the past two years all four of the MEN who were on the beat were credentialed is even more infuriating. NCAA - make this right. Reward the students who've helped cover the team & grow the game for you all season long.
I am one of four student journalists on

But when we tried to get credentials for the Frozen Four, we were told by
