Controversy swirls around the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee each year, as one or two teams get debated about whether they deserve a chance at a national title run or not.

After "Selection Sunday," the North Carolina Tar Heels have been the hot controversial topic as college basketball fans dissect the official bracket.

There was a large contingent that wasn't too happy with the decision by the selection committee on Sunday, as the Tar Heels will play San Diego State to earn a No. 11 seed in the South Region as one of the "First Four" games.

But not everyone was shocked to see the Tar Heels among the 68 teams that got in. 

College basketball legend Jalen Rose, part of the famous "Fab Five" 1991 Michigan Wolverines squad, told Fox News Digital why North Carolina's bid doesn't surprise him at all. 

"They deserve to get in off money and nostalgia," Rose said, while also discussing his partnership with Fanatics Sportsbook during this year's March Madness. "People know how the game works. Since the beginning of time, look at where teams play in the brackets. Duke and Carolina usually play in their own backyard, and it’s not just so they can have the home-court advantage, which it clearly does give them. It also allows the NCAA, or whoever the governing bodies are, to make more money and sell more tickets."
