The free housing is pretty big when you consider the salary level.
I'm imagine they provide corporate apartments like any other company does.With the caveat being the quality of the housing. I would think from the teams' stand point, having some pre arranged quarters at known locations where the team pays rent directly is preferable to giving players the stipend and them finding housing on their own.
I think the housing will be mostly utilized by the younger players in the league. I doubt guys like Andre Ingram will opt for a Gleague apartment with a wife and kids, but for the young cats this is huge.With the caveat being the quality of the housing.

Will anyone use the $35K for tuition at a local community college!
I don't understand why they don't make this $70K, that's a rounding error on a middle of the road NBA contract and they'd get a boat-load more players by providing a living wage. If I'm the NBA I go for the jugular right now vs NCAA.

Because the NCAA is a billion dollar business and by building the Gleague into the 2nd best league in the world you’d eat some of that market. If the top 10 highschool kids each year went to the Gleague instead of the ncaa don’t you think people would watch the league.But why would they do that when the NCAA trains and weeds out the potential NBA players for free?

Well that’s just you, that the thing about markets they are bigger than tge individual tastes of a single consumer. For example would I watch My Little Pony, no because I’m a grown man, but theres a market full of other grown men that fuel the show.No. I wouldn't care until they were in the NBA.
People watch college basketball to root for the laundry probably more than any other sport except for CFB. I don't think the popularity of CBB would suffer at all.Well that’s just you, that the thing about markets they are bigger than tge individual tastes of a single consumer.
