I haven't watched a college basketball game in ages but I'm out of town with nothing else to do. Dude sounds like he's a 85 year old man bitching about how so and so should have done this and wow oh wow what a stupid thing to do.

I generally like him, but he has gone a bit overboard raging against the big, bad NCAA machine whenever he can and it gets a bit

He’s been like that for a long time.

I dislike him. He’s a lawyer and he sounds like it. He tries to manipulate people and to me, he does so very poorly and obviously

It's not that he's a lawyer, it's that he's a very arrogant elitist lawyer and represents that reputation every time he opens his mouth, which isn't very appealing and furthers the elitist knowitall perception the general public has of the legal profession in a general sense, unfairly makes the unassuming talented relatable lawyers look like jerks as well when in reality that's not the case for the majority of ethical lawyers, is what it is

I'm not big fan of Bills but anyone that will publically challenge the NCAA gets kudos from me. He's got a huge platform and I like that he challenges them and calls them out.

For a while now.
I agree with what he says and he has great insight, but he’s been yelling at the NCAA for atleast 10+ years now

In all fairness, at least Bilas makes valid points when he does discuss the NCAA and it’s mishaps. It’s not like he’s screaming complete BS

He has gone west coast liberal. He thinks too much like an ex player and not enough like an analyst and commentator

He’s pissed because college basketball doesn’t matter to most fans until March. He’s kissed because college football regular season is significantly more compelling. And he’s pissed that the NCAA is the NCAA. He’s also the embodiment of a Duke grad stereotype

I’m a pretty conservative guy, but what the hell are you saying?

Agreed completely.

He's definitively researched this too.

Didn’t you know, he is a lawyer and knows what he is talking about.

Probably when he realized he was wrong after spending months telling everybody Ayton was a no brainer pick over Doncic.

hes a clever man with a platform to to be heard, however he has never offered one approach in fixing the NCAA system. Zero structure to how he would pay these athletes.....just lots of bitching in an intelligent dialect

This is a guard/wing league. Picking a big man over a guard when they have similar talent/potential is fricking retarded
