Why yes 98% of NCAA graduates go pro in something other than sports, it's that 2% that makes the schools,conference and NCAA millions from TV contracts, merchandise, and ticket sales. Those % are made up but that doesn't stop it from being true
That's very true about the making a living point.
I can't remember the exact figure but when Kentucky won the championship a couple years ago even tho Rupp Arena was jammed pack every home game and most of the game were on national tv, the 6-7 football made twice as much money at a basketball...
The cupcake classes has been going on for a very long time at probably most if not all major conference schools. I know I watched a documentary about black players in the late 60's early 70's some of them couldn't even read but could play ball so schools would hand them special tests that were...

Up until like the mid-70's freshmen couldn't even step foot in the court. But remember Michigan had 5 freshmen starters and that was 20+ years ago now. Freshmen starters or 1 and done isn't a new thing but it's becoming a pandemic. I grew in a house that loved basketball and boxing, my father...
AAU basketball and espn are what is ruining college basket IMO. Oh And the NCAA but that's a whole different subject. I agree 1 and done sucks because you don't get to know the players in the uniforms and there has been a lot of sloppy basketball with no defense for several years and for that...
