I’ve deleted typed responses about this twice now because I really don’t care that much, but this is pretty funny actually:
“College” basketball has lost the plot so bad, I’d been thinking about a “college” league with no limitation on playing years. It just seems so weird. But now thinking about it, if they removed the limit on years of eligibility, there’d be such a surplus of good players hanging around the “college” league, you couldn’t possibly have all these transfers.
I was laughing thinking about some Chia Pet hair cut old dude with a head band shooting free throws in the NCAA tournament and the commentators mentioning how, “… in his 15th season, he’s setting the NCAA record for oldest player ever to reach the Final Four.” ![]()
The whole system is such a mockery now, it’s really not that bad of an idea. Imagine if we could have paid Leemire more than those pro leagues. Players get paid, and schools & fans can end up with “franchise” players who earn a triple PhD in the meantime.
