College teams should be allowed no more than 2 top 30 rated players

[scrappy2.0]

It makes a ton of sense and levels the playing ground. Whats going on at Kentucky and Duke is not reasonable and doesnt provide a fair playing ground

Not aggressive enough.

Every school should have a top 100 player distributed randomly to them every 3.5 years.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

You could have made this argument 30+ years ago during the times of UCLA dominating the college basketball landscape. At least its more fair today.

Tyler Olander has two championships and he beat Kentucky twice to get them.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

And we would still be struggling against Columbia and Monmouth.

 

[jibsey]

Duke has #1,2, and 3. We have Akinjo at #97. Cuse has #9 and 37. I understand that the numbers don’t tell the whole story but how do you mess up if you have 1, 2 and 3? That covers a lot of coaching mistakes.

The root of the problem is the one and done rule created by the NBA. The NBA basically did what would benefit them at the expense of college basketball. That's why the only reason I watch NBA is to watch our former players. Otherwise they can suck it.

College teams shouldn't be allowed to make the tournament in back to back years. I mean come on, give someone else a chance.

or we can put Cincinnati in every year and then EVERYONE has a chance to win an NCAA tourney game

I think the answer would is to stop keeping score. Give everyone a trophy at the end of the year, let them all say they tied for first place. Nobody would have anything to complain about.

The only colors allowed on jerseys should be black and white. How is St Bonaventure supposed to compete with their color scheme?

They could all play the same position.

 

[auggie22]

Yes, a common sense proposal that will put an end to open, destructive and inefficient competition. Let me add to your suggestion that I believe we should also spread the coaching wealth around - let's force the best teams in the country annually to swap coaches with the worst teams. Maybe a serpentine order where the best and the worst, 2nd best and 2nd worst, and so on and so forth. I think Coach K might finally be a Husky in 2019!

 

[jibsey]

College football and basketball are not amateur sports in any real sense. Then why bother having drafts in major league sports? Let the Yankees or the Dodgers sign the top 3 players every year. No. Because it would be unfair letting one team get the best players. Yet this is exactly what happens every year in MCBB. Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Kansas skim the cream with some exceptions. They don’t do it every year because they’re already stockpiled. To be fair, Geno does this every year. I think the system needs help and frankly I don’t like being one of the have nots.

Except UConn because you guys wouldn't even make the tournament. However, under my suggestion UConn probably would get in. See I'm always looking out for the little guys. Programs like UConn (and other mid and low tier AAC schools) are getting screwed in the current system.

Considering Cronin is your coach that is obvious.

Serious question. Because we don't know what it's like.
How many consecutive appearances would you trade for a sniff at a final four?

All of them. Making the Final Four is tough which is why you should go ahead and give Ollie a lifetime deal for getting to one.

I hope you aren't a millennial, we do not need this on our tab.

 

[The Funster]

I think kids should be randomly divvied out by stars. Every school has the same quota of stars and the kids get sent to a school. First all the five stars, then four, etc. So maybe each schools players add up to say, 40 stars. I mean, why should the kids have a choice? They only matter as entertainment.

Orange slices for everyone.

How about an equal playing rule too? Everyone on the team has to play the same amount of minutes.

 

[intlzncster]

Outside of the ridiculousness of the actual idea, can you imagine the implications on recruiting rankings? The amount of corruption would be insane. You think scrutiny on high school kids is bad now....

 

[Kitaman]

Usually a team only needs one All American in college basketball to win a Championship. Its the minimum requirement if you will.

Hell you don't even need player of the year, you just have to have a team that plays excellent together, are well coached, have a floor leader and one freaking AA stud. (Sounds familiar?)

Just saying even if you spread it around, you still have to have our player be that an All American among all the others in the land. Oh and a good supporting cast is critical.
