This has been anything but a great season. There is no Zion Williamson or Anthony Davis on the court. The ACC has three good (not great) teams and then a lot of mediocrity. Most other conferences are the same way. Lots of fouls getting called and lord help us when the officials have to visit the monitor to review a play.
Mark Story, a sports columnist for the Lexington Herald-Leader (which along with the Kentucky Sports Radio blog are your go-to sources for the winningest team of all time) has some great suggestions on how to improve the game:
1) Let players who enter the NBA draft and are not selected return to college. This would shift some talent back to the college game that will otherwise play overseas or in the NBA G League.
2) Let players make endorsement deals. It's their name and number on the t-shirt; give them a cut of the action. Again this will make a difference for the stay-in-school versus bolt-for-overseas decision.
3) Reduce the use of video replays. Story recommends giving each coach the right to request two replays per game. I would add this -- require replays to be complete in two minutes. If there is not a clear case for overturning a call by then, the call should stand.
