Here's the paragraph that caught my eye:

This sport has fought through the one-and-done rule, the period where one could go straight from high school to the pros, the G League trying to take players from the college ranks and much more.

There's always some disaster that is going to "kill" college basketball. Portal/NIL is just the latest theoretical murderer.

Remember when NBA prospects were going to New Zealand to play for a year to get paid peanuts to show off their skills against the pros?

Seems like that isn't necessary anymore so that's good

Now New Zealand sends their NBA prospects to MU to get paid peanuts and show off their skills against the pros.

Honestly I don't even know what Fanta's point was. It just seemed to be a stream of consciousness more than anything else.

I think only 40+ players actually went pro from high school and could no longer play in college, the same can be said for those who went the G league route. Today you have players signing with schools and then de-commit and can change teams from one season to the next. That has a far greater impact on the college game than one and done or going to the G league the NIL money notwithstanding. Will the college game survive? Only if the football schools can make money from it.

College basketball will be fine.

Not at all. The A10 sucks, as you already know. We even cheat:

NCAA hits Fordham hard for violations including giving recruits tickets to Giants, Knicks and Nets games - CBS Sports - April 23, 2025

QuoteThe NCAA on Tuesday levied stiff penalties including three years of probation against the Fordham men's basketball program over "impermissible benefits" provided to prospective athletes on official recruiting visits and what the NCAA said was a failure on Fordham's part to monitor its program.

The ruling from the NCAA called for Fordham to vacate all 41 wins across the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, serve three years of probation and pay a $35,000 fine -- plus 2% of the men's basketball budget. Former Fordham coach Keith Urgo, under whom the improprieties took place, was also hit with a two-year show-cause penalty for "violating ethical conduct rules and head coach responsibility rules." Urgo was fired by Fordham in March.

The expenses also included Jet Ski rentals and tickets to Knicks, Nets and Giants games as well as tickets to the U.S. Open Tennis Championships. "They were treating me like I was some criminal, literally like I had broken some laws," Urgo told The Post.

I don't care about this. What I really want to know is what your opinions are regarding the portal system and whether or not Shaka made a mistake by not taking any transfers in to improve the team. Please post in the 2025 Transfer Portal thread. Thanks!

Apparently, all three Dayton basketball fans have already discussed everything there is to discuss about the state of Flyers basketball amongst themselves, so naturally, they're out seeking something more interesting from the outside world.

I kind of feel for the guy (pawz). Imagine if Dayton was your alma mater. Yuck.
