a nail biter to the finish but in the end the uconn husky defeated the kentucky wildcats. what happened off the court after the game is getting just as much attention back in connecticut. fans celebrated on campus which wreaking havoc. according to a university spokesman windows and streetlights were smashed. police arrested 35 people 20 were uconn students and in kentucky law enforcement was forced to use tear gas to control the rowdy and disappointed crowd. officials said 17 couches were set on fire and there were approximately 18 injuries resulting in seven arrests. sadly this is simply the latest in long line of post-championship violence. why tonight we're examining what exactly fuels this bizarre phenomenon. here to break it down, arizona cardinals placekicker is here. and our senior entertainment reporter for hollywoodlife.com is with us. look, i understand everyone identifies with their teams. when you were with the jet i was your biggest fan. now you're my biggest enemy. we care about our sports teams. why always the violence that happens again and again after a g

most improbable run coming to an end with the uconn championship. >> well, it is exciting for the uconn huskies college basketball's national cha championship for the second time in four years, beating kentucky, 60-5 60-54 rand as you heard, improbable run and few people picked the seven seed to go all of the way, when the ncaa tournament started. so as you might expects a lot of attention, and celebrating going on regarding uconn on the campus after game. things got rowdy, well, a lot when 30 people are arrested. meantime, more celebrating there tonight, as uconn will take on notre dame for the ncaa women's national championship. and uconn's star point guard shabazz napier was named the mvp of the final four, and scored 22 points last night in helping to lead the huskies to the championship, but he is also getting attention for the surprising comments that he made recently when he entered the debate over whether student athletes should be paid. >> and the best to get the scholarship to the universities, but at the end of the day, it does not cover anything. money is needed. so i don't think th

according to shabbaz napier, senior guard with the uconn huskies it's partially due to the relationshipig colleges and student athletes. here's what he told fox sports in the midst of march madness. >> it's best to get a scholarship to our universities, but at the end of the day that doesn't cover everything. we do have hungry nights that we don't have enough money to get food and sometimes, you know, needing mono -- money is needed. >> it just so happens that a few weeks later division one officials approved unlimited meals and snacks for all athletes whether they're walk-ones or student athletes with scholarships, but it is just one piece of increasingly complicated clfrgz to redefine the relationship between college athletes and their schools. next week, northwestern's football team will take a normal vote on whether to let a union represent them with their university and that could open the door to a stronger push for a piece of those multimillion dollar tv contracts and something that would raise the stakes considerably. keep in mind the ncaa as a whole made 872 million in 2012 and
