Irony or prophecy?

I found this in my Photobucket library from 2009. I remember doing a HACtire ("satire") piece about Schaap being on Wanted posters in the USSR because the KGB was looking for him.

While I am a college basketball fan (and an Indiana Hoosier fan!!!) I have become a bit disgruntled with the NCAA.  I think it is a terrible rule that allows a kid to leave college and go pro after only one year.  I think it has hurt the college game.

Hurt the game?  Like going undefeated?  Like a team of juniors, sophomores and freshman that share the ball, share playing time and play team shut down defense?  Or do you mean a team of kids who are generally nice people that are involved in missions work and helping the less fortunate?  Or do you mean a team of academic athletes that carries a B average?

Hey, calm down.  I'm not attacking Kentucky.  Their coaches resume' and history speaks for itself.  IMO the individual college programs would be better if students could not leave until after their sophomore or junior year.  This would allow the colleges who invest in the scholarships to have the player for two years.  It would allow programs to "build".

BTW, who was the last undefeated NCAA basketball team?

About a year or two, this was outside the Cubs locker room on the wall. Seriously.

There is a big debate in the sports world about one and done.  I think the purpose of college is to prepare the individual for a career.  If the sports program can prepare a student in one year to be ready for a multi-million dollar career, so be it.  The other opinion seems incredibly selfish of the university to prevent a student from entering a career.

The university is giving the kid a free ride (and other gifts if they go to Kentucky .)

But they are also making money in using them as well. Trade off.

My main point is the downgrading of the college game.  There was a time when many of the future great NBA players stayed all 4 years and graduated.  While that was great, I am not suggesting that they change things to mirror it.  A college searches out and recruits a kid.  They give him a scholarship.  He plays one season and is gone.  He goes into the NBA and makes big money.  As you mentioned, the college makes money.

I am looking at it from the point of a coach and fan.  It would be nice for both if the kid was required to stay for at least 2 years.  A lesser powered program may have recruited a great player.  It would give them a chance to build a couple of years with him.
