If you had the ability to change anything and everything you wanted about college basketball, what would you change?

Selection committee does not get to see the names of teams they are selecting for the tournament and only get to see completely objective team sheets.

We could always make it like college football and only allow the top 4 teams to be a part of March Madness.

The key word being March. As in the one month where individual college basketball games matter.

If I was the King of the NCAA...

-Players could go straight to the NBA out of High School.

-Scholarship players would be given a stipend of $5K per month ($60K per year) that they are enrolled in school and on track academically. A lot of the money would come from new Final Four TV Contract which would be bid separately from the rest of the tournament...All Final Four Money would go into player pool.

-I'd leave the number of teams where it is now.

-The Final Four would be a best two out of three in the semis and finals (Thurs, Sat, Mon)...after all aren't we trying to get the best team not the luckiest one?

-No football stadiums for the Final Four.

-Final 8 teams getting into the tournament as at-large teams would be selected based on blind analytics with no name or conference affiliation used in the selection process.

-Cut the season back by two games to shorten the season by one week, which would allow expanding the Final Four.

-No football stadiums for the Final Four.

 

This one is huge. I don’t think until

you’ve been to a final four in a football stadium, you can realize just how utterly stupid it is.

Nah. I haven’t been to a Final Four in a football stadium and I know how utterly stupid it is. One of the main reasons I have no desire to go to a Final Four.

You wouldn't have any power over players going straight to NBA.

If I was King, my power would be absolute...I would rule all of basketball NBA, Olympics, College, High School, AAU all the way down to Y-Ball. My power would be unquestioned!!!

I like a lot of your ideas. My question is why is everyone so against the one and done? I absolutely love the fact that we gave gotten to see some of the best and most talented basketball players play in college. Carmelo, Durant, Anthony Davis, etc. I think it's been great and been fun as a fan having this talent in college basketball.

Because there should be no legal way to force anyone to go to college for one year. I love seeing those guy in college but if they are LeBron Elite, let them go if they want to.
