I was watching the McD's AA selection show today. Something jumped out to me....it was a statistic.
Now I dont remember it all completely, but bottom line is Gary Williams Maryland team in 2002 was the last to win a NCAA title without one single McD's AA. I forgot how many years prior to 2002 it was for the exact situation but I do know it has been 11, going on 12 years since that Maryland team.
That in itself is killing the college game. These 24 different players every year are going to the same schools over and over again. A group comes in, then a group leaves making room for the next one and done's and so on.
I have a proposal or more or less an idea because it will never be submitted to the NBA......
Get rid of the one and done rule.....bring back straight from high school.
Then those who dont make the jump from high school they have to be removed from high school for at LEAST 3 years before they can declare. They can sign over in Europe or likewise places or enroll in a college for 3 years, develop their game, enjoy true competition, and get an education.
Sure the NBA heads here and everywhere who think the players grow on trees and dont give a crap about any basketball besides the NBA, couldnt care less. But my idea benefits both parties here.....more developed draft prospects would equal a better all around product....the college game would get back to what it once was.
Sure there is parity at the college level in regular season games. I agree with that argument, and that is fine. But when the tournament comes around, statistical FACTS tell you that parity is out the window and only a handful of teams. Hell to fill out an almost perfect bracket all you have to do is go back 4/5 years in recruiting. Tally up the McDs AA and which teams complied the most talent around those AA's and that should give you a pretty accurate bracket. UNC has had an up and down year, but you can write them into your sweet 16 bracket right now.........
Sorry for the long rant that went more college than I expected....but I am sure there are other posters who enjoy both levels of competition who have an opinion on this
