When I was young, and healthy, I'd take my now grown children and grand children to see CJ, Shaq, Rudy etc and it was a lot of fun. But what lost me on men's basketball was the Ben Simmons year. I haven't watched any college basketball, other than the Lady Tigers since then.

Certainly didn't help that a guy who didn't even want to be in college (publicly said that BTW) sort of played when he wanted to. Offsetting that a bit was the Hornsby kid who everyone had to root for to do well.
I think college basketball changed forever after the absolutely amazing NCAA North Carolina ruling. Remember that one. North Carolina BB players apparently were given credit for going to a fictional class...didn't even exist. BUT the NCAA in all their wisdom said that NC should not be put on probation because OTHER students were able to sign up for that imaginary class...thus the BB players were given no special treatment.
That was ludicrous! Here is the proper ruling. ALL the "students" involved, players and non-players, get expelled!

So, ten years and 3 coaches later, you are still so traumatized by a player not living up to his potential that you STILL cannot bring yourself to watch the game played by ANYBODY?
Wow, I guess you showed Ben Simmons who was the BOSS, eh?
But thanks for weighing in on a thread about two coaches you admit you have never seen their teams play!!!

College basketball has become nothing more than a University G League these days. It is exceedingly rare to see a good player on a team for more than 1 season. It's just not fun anymore.
