Other than boxing, no sport has fallen off harder than college hoops

College Basketball is more high scoring this year due to the rule changes.

Problem is that, it's so top heavy. I did enjoy the season two years ago when Gonzaga and Miami were the top teams and Louisville and Michigan met up in the title game

That 2013 Miami team was scary.

Its because there's no star power. Kids leaving so early that they don't even develop properly. Then they get to the league and ride the bench. Perfect example is my boy Archie Goodwin of the Suns. Bruh coulda been nasty had he stayed and developed at Kentucky. This one and done rule is a cancer on college bball and the NBA. I can imagine what it was like seeing MJ, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem, coming back and dominating the college game to make sure they were prepared for the pro's. I wish kids were required to stay at least 2 years in college.
I hate this how you gonna make a kid stay for your entertainment if you going to do this the athletes should get paid and I mean well considering how much the sport generates.

True, but throughout NBA history, those who dominate the HoF, are those guys with multiple years of college at least. You can't name 10 HS drafted players who dominated the game throughout their career. Your premise is right in that a Senior can bust in the league and a freshman can come in a dominate. But why not maximize your level of play at one level before moving on?
Guys didn't start coming out of high school until 1995. None of them are even HOF eligible yet.

pretty much all sports suck now, compare anything to 80s early 90s (Boxing, NBA, NFL, NHL, CBB, WWF) pretty much the only sport riding high right now is baseball, and it was better when Bonds, McGwire and Sosa were juiced up

I've never met a single person of any ethnicity who has said that :dahell:

You'd have to be just about retarded to say some shyt like that:dahell:

I've heard plenty of white dudes say that. Not as much recently but 5 years ago, definitely. They said the NBA is nothing but selfish millionaires that don't play hard. They rather watch Ohio St. beat Iowa 50-49.

and the presentation was so much better. big east mondays & big ten tuesdays... the announcers: bill raftery, digger phelps, quinn buckner
