    The problem is not Cal

    The problem is recruiting only guys who are expected to only be here for a year is not gonna win championships. You can’t basically field an aau team and expect them to win championships. If we had 3 core guys who we could then add 2 “all stars” to the mix. We need a core group players that are...

    How would you fix College Hoops?

    alot of the fix really is up to the NBA when it comes to how the NCAA is run. with that said I think ways to not be beholden to the NBA is: 1) let kids go completely through the draft and if they don't like where they were drafted or don't get drafted the NCAA should not rule them ineligible...

    8 million dollar Insurance policy (Zion)

    the argument to pay players is stupid. there is alot of benefits that they get. but the NCAA is stupid for not letting them make money off their own image in the off season. cause honestly Im sure that would keep some of them from jumping to soon, and would allow them to gauge how profitable...

    G-League ups base salary to 35k for 5 month season, free housing, bonuses

    the reason I made a snarky comment was because for months I have had to read people talking about how the increase in GL salaries is gonna kill college basketball. and that is just not true, there is way more than money to consider to this equation (like tv exposure, hype, agent fee, timing to...

    G-League ups base salary to 35k for 5 month season, free housing, bonuses

    they gonna pay em 53 grand over 7 months, I think not. that would kill company moral for starters and that would also be the exception to this not the rule. plus my original post was in regards to it not being the kinda of money to attract players away from big time programs and for going...

    G-League ups base salary to 35k for 5 month season, free housing, bonuses

    but in the real world they can't make 84 grand, can't really annualized it if it cant actually be realized. plus hype factor plays into a lot of your top draft pick coming out of college. not a lot of hype about a kid grinding it out in the GL. don't be foolish. that is like saying a teacher...

    G-League ups base salary to 35k for 5 month season, free housing, bonuses

    yeah they could make some more money in the off season but most are going to be focused on trying to work their game to get an nba contract. I doubt many of them are gonna be delivering pizza in the off season or any other job that a high school diploma will get ya these days

    G-League ups base salary to 35k for 5 month season, free housing, bonuses

    35 plus housing is still not enough to ruin college basketball like some on this board would have us believe

    Rick should do like Nick Nolte's character in Blue Chips and coach high school ball

    the biggest difference is the coach in blue chips had a crisis of conscience over paying for players and well rick was more like the character of Happy the booster

    Yeah. I'll say it... It's getting old.

    there are 3 main reasons that college basketball is not like it was, first is the over dominance of the AAU/shoe company summer basketball over taking domanance in recruiting. next, the NBA drafting young guys at a higher and higher rate. and honestly if the NBA stopped drafting 19 year olds...

    Jay Bilas crying

    yeah if you just say this percentage of sales from xyz fixes the title 9 cause everyone would get the same percentage. but I am more of a fan of the making money on image, letting them sell autographs in the off season and doing endorsements in the off season (like tv and print ads) this takes...

    Time for the NCAA to Reinstate the Vacated Teams to College Basketball's Record Books

    the problem I have with everything involved with UNC is how a player can be ruled ineligible due to their academics or academic fraud before entering college but kids are directed to take specific paper classes and are handed grades or grades changed to keep them eligible but that is out of...
