You literally have all the scores on top of the screen so you know when it's a close game or when a game is nearing its end, if you need CBS to dictate what game you want to see and can't actually do it for yourself I don't even know what to tell you :yeshrug:. I don't know how having the access to see every game is seen as a negative
How old are you and when did you start watching college basketball?

So how does this improve college basketball as a whole?

Im happy that the players are getting what they can earn in NIL deals, but the question is: Is the game overall better then it was in the 90s? 2000s? 10 years ago?
The quality of teams and level of skill as a whole has diminished every decade since the 90s. Go look at the championship teams of the 90s and compare the 2010 teams to them, and especially the 2020 teams so far and tell me the game has gotten better.

I'm 40 years old and been watching college ball since the Fab 5, I know how the tourney was broadcasted before and I know how it's done now. The comment from Bomani was in reference to the opening round of 64 that covers Thursday/Friday, when back in the day you literally only got one game on CBS and then the broadcast would do live look-ins to other games, switch if one game was a blowout after about a half, and then cut to another game when the ending was approaching. My question to you is how do you prefer that option over having access to each game on it's own separate channel to watch the game you want to watch?

More talented kids will stay in school. They'll just end up playing for 3 programs

As long as the team you root for wins 25 games and makes the tournament. Who cares if the roster turns over every season. None of these kids are related to us

NIL has been good for the game but the transfer portal and eligibility stuff is a mess right now. Definitely gotta tighten up the transfer rules again.

People who hate nil are weird lmao should we want them to not get paid or something. The schools make millions they have enough money to build 30-40 million dollar facilities but can’t pay the players they feel they need be fr.

That’s illegal tho and if they wanna leave who cares lmao it’s their right to leave. If a regular student wanna change schools every year they can why can’t the athletes. Coaches leave mid season at times
