BREAKING: FBI has arrested several NCAA asst. Basketball coaches in corruption scheme

[Champ_KW]

I don’t think so man. MSU was right there with Bowen and he does use magic Johnson as an endorser.

He’s a great coach no doubt, but he’s not clean either.

Side note: Miles Bridges is a one and done player, Izzo was just able to convince him to stay here.

Only coach that's clean right now is Roy......and that's by happenstance because they got the NCAA at their door.

i already addressed this line of thinking...yall simply have no foresight into how easily things can be disrupted. hotels, cabs, and retail all had the same "well this just does it better/ does more" attitudes...air bnb, uber/lyft, and amazon got all them leaning back too.

It’s not about that. It’s that Americans don’t prefer minor league stuff. It’s not like we haven’t seen it tried. It doesn’t work from the perspective of thinking it’ll draw eyes away from people who root for laundry. People don’t prefer Uber over Lyft because they’re emotionally attached to one over the other. If you root for the college team, it’s because you have at attachment to the school. In a pro nation, you’re not gonna convince people to get emotionally attached to minor league squads unless you’re a resident of that little town.

If they do that, they’d effectively kill off college sports in the Northeast

Yeah no doubt. Even more Northeast high school kids will start leaving also.

I think the AAU programs and their "directors" are going to be under a lot of fire

A lot of guys working half a year and bringing home damn near 6 figure salaries if you've got a top circuit team

Most of the times not even taxed cause it's nonprofit.

Tom Izzo is the cleanest coach in CBBall, by the way.

Doesnt use the one and done ticket, USA basketball (cough* Coach K *cough), or celebrities to sell his program....and mostly recruits out of Michigan/The Rust Belt. And his program is top 10 relevancy/competitiveness.

it doesn't work because the minors for football/basketball are currently set up for people after their NCAA farm days, those who failed to make the league. you take the top d1 talent and move that out to a minor league, all the 4/5 star HS recruits go to a minor league, that top talent develops and starts being the main pipeline to the NFL, people will start watching. it won't be overnight, but people aint gonna keep watching the leftover "scrub"/d-ii level talent in schools when all the best players are in a minor league that then feeds the major teams they care about.

as for school attachment, that's lie. most fans of these power schools never went to the school. it's a regional thing for some while others become fans during a certain era (90's miami, 00's USC) or for certain players. had the miami typhoons (minor league) fielded those 90's/very early 00's teams, they'd have the fans the U did/does.

again, yall are being shortsighted or thinking in terms of overnight success.

edit: and even if the public doesn't make it as popular on tv as the NCAA is now (which isn't just some shyt that happened organically in the first place), if the best talent is there, the leagues will know, and that's all that matters, especially if the NBA/NFL don't have to fund it - free farms are free farms. the only reason the NCAA is so strong is because it's a free farm and the NFL/NBA benefit from supporting their system.

1865 Uber trips in 10 months.

I just find it hard to believe that the only OSU listed so far is OKLAHOMA state university.

Funny you say this, when scUM was an Adidas school up until a year ago, right?

I can’t speak for everyone, but up here in the Northeast, these Wall Street, Big law, big pharma types really do have emotional attachment to these schools.

I just don’t see them saying i want to watch the D-League breh.

I thought you were talking about the NBA, but for the NFL it wouldn’t work either. Fans would generally shyt on the product and realize why they didn’t make it to the NFL. Remember the UFL? Same concept, except nobody cared (and they had a TV deal). If the idea is to put all these recruits on a bunch of teams and remove collegiate affiliation then I have no reason to care about the outcome of games. Why? I don’t have a reason to care for one team over the other. It’s gonna look like and feel like an exhibition.

And DO NOT make the assumption of “well they love college football so they have to like the NFL right?” Not the case.

I didn’t go to the U of Miami (I almost did and I might go there one day for my Masters) but that’s my favorite college football team. You don’t have to be an alum to have an attachment.

I try not to turn everything into a black/white thing

But my spidey senses are going off a bit here

4 black asst. Coaches get arrested

No arrest for the 4 head coaches (3 white 1 black )

I'll just keep my eye on it

Breh we all know how it is when shyt like this goes down. Them black coaches, boosters and players all fall on the sword. And them other folks be like... I ain't seen or did nothing.

I think you are vastly under playing the the emotional connection people have with collegiate sports. From an entertainment perspective I don't think a minor league for either of those gets ratings/streams.

@Poitier Beilein's gonna clean up on recruits after this.

Ol' boy was playin' the long game.
