TMac thinks kids should have to stay 2 years in college

This is also why I fully expect to see the "Big 5" football conferences leave the NCAA in 12 years. I think this playoff system is a trial run (especially if they go though with their threats to all play 8 conference games and only play OOC games against each other) to see if they can be profitable on their own. Then when they leave the NCAA, they will pay athletes and it will essentially become a minor leagues for the NFL.

I think you're right. The NCAA will either be pushed aside or there will, at least, be sweeping changes. Everyone is sick of the NCAA.
 
Sort of an anti-climax at this point. Might as well just go to bed.
 
1- Student athletes should have to stay in college for 3 years.

2-The NBA should run a short 3 week summer league where incoming freshman, freshman and sophomores compete and get paid a small amount of money.

While this won't end corruption at the college level I think it would reduce it somewhat. And over time the product will improve significantly.

What will help with corruption is finding a way for the NCAA/NBA to hold AAU coaches, shoe company representatives, runners, etc.. accountable. There is a way to do that, but I'm too lazy to type it all out.

I think the blatant corruption (cash to players) is mostly non-existent nowadays, tbh. It's the peripheral issues like giving mom a job at the university (a la UNC and Tyler H's mom) or hiring the kid's HS or AAU coach.. that stuff doesn't bother me a ton, it's just a little sickening that a coach would accept a new job based on steering a kid to a particular school...

Yep.. now follow this bouncing ball;

Bazz wanted to play for UK/Calipari. He even told Cal he was committing to UK.
BUT, dad worked out a deal with Adidas (getting his daughter an endorsement deal and himself hired on as a 'consultant.'
So, how could dad allow 'Bazz to choose a Nike school? He couldn't... so he PERSUADED 'Bazz to go to UCLA.

There's no way we'll know, but I am 100% certain that had 'Bazz played for UK this year he'd be going #1 in the draft. (I could outline all the reasons why, if not so lazy)
