It’s been a bad year. First FSU gets the title in Football, now UK gets it in basketball.
SEC is still the greatest conference ever in all of mankind :o)
When you sell the NBA FAST TRACK to the elite talent, you will always be in the mix.
UK even reaching the final four was one of the worst things to happen to the college game this year.
And now that they are in the championship game, and even more so if they should win it Monday night, it will be the worst thing for the college game period.
You cannot tell me that offering up your program the way UK has for the being a middle man for the NBA on the OAD’s does not have some corruption behind it, if not now, it will soon enough.
But this is simply ruining the college game. The NCAA could slow this down if they wanted too by re-instituting the FRESHMEN Rule...where freshmen cant play varsity ball.
That way, these elite OAD’s could not get the benefit of the varsity coach unless they stayed 2 or more years.....however since they would be eligible for the draft after their freshmen year, they would more than likely opt to the NBA, and that would allow the kids that ACTUALLY want to play and contribute to the program a place to play and protect the college game.
That would pretty much put and end to Calipari’s NBA FARM TEAM SYSTEM and keep it from spreading to the rest of the college programs, more to the point, the elite programs.
But we know already their have been questionable actions at UK already with one recruit in that of Bledsoe and Calipari’s involvement getting another recruit to resend his announcement to one program. It may not be exactly against the NCAA rules, but it sure borders on the unethical.
