re: How badly does College Basketball need a change?

I am gonna be picky on a few things you said.

Brad Stevens is obviously relevant. He coached butler to 2 of the 5 final fours you acknowledge in your next sentence. Not sure if you were playing dumb or what, but dismissing that was weird as you didn't make a counterpoint either, which you previously pointed out someone else doing.

No mid major lost because of a missed buzzer beater. That's disingenuous. It was a half court heave. Additionally, that team had 2 NBA contributors (one of them is a borderline all star) on it and was more of an exception than the rule. VCU and George mason obviously fit the mold you are describing, but a couple fluke runs is not that crazy in the grand scheme of things.

Lastly, Alex Len was not a one and done player and the guy you responded to definitely didn't watch college basketball in the 80s

I don't really disagree with too much you said. There is certainly a trickle down effect with the one and done rule that ends up affecting more than the 5 schools who get the players. I just wanted to point out those things because I often feel like people see your username and just think everything is right.
