College sports is in big trouble. Haven't watched 1 second of a single game other than the games the Gophers have played in all season. The NCAA better get their greed under control or it is going to collapse. 14 SEC teams being speculated of getting bids... New rosters every year... No thanks.
Word. Besides the turn-off of greed and money--which fans of college sports have traditionally sought refuge from when it comes to pro sports--there's the bullshit of your team being all new players every year. Pro teams have way more continuity by comparison and the ability for fans to get attached to players. The NCAA and their schools are in the process of killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
Sounds like a you problem
And now they want to expand the tournament to 76...
It's hard enough just to keep track of which teams are IN the Conference much less who is on the rosters.
When I saw that Cochrane was transferring, I was like, oh yeah, I think I've heard of him.
Who he play for?
That's false.
Perfect encapsulation of the state of things. Well said.
100%.
I think it depends. If the team is winning people will show. The SEC is packing their arenas and basketball is bigger than ever down there but programs struggling to win are also struggling to draw fans.
Looking at guys like Tonje and even our own former guy Jaden Henley, guys do still develop. Few have the patience for it. Henley is averaging 12.2 pts per game at UNLV as a junior. He might end up being an all conference player out there as a senior. Crazy, but some kids take time.
