    I'm sorry... But if you want to change that stuff. You better look into paying these kids or changing the flow of the money. If Tyus and Okafor would of gone to the Badgers.... You think we would be hearing this kind of talk. Hell no... Everyone in Madison would of be happy. Bo Ryan outlook like that will limit his top level recruits. It's probably the reason why he lost Diamond Stone to Maryland. Who cares if a kid goes 4 years or only 1. Your not going to pay them.

      Ouch, from a Missouri Senator on Twitter:

      Congrats to Duke,but I was rooting for team who had stars that are actually going to college & not just doing semester tryout for NBA.


      To be clear folks, this isn't about the kids,this is about the system.This is about the NCAA/NBA.I don't blame the very talented athletes.

        Thank you, thank you, thank you - stone cold truth as always, jeebs!

        Ryan came off like a big baby. News flash Bo: everyone makes money off this billion-dollar tournament (including NCAA shills like Vitale) EXCEPT the "kids" these coaches care so much about. Absolutely nothing wrong with one-and-dones.

                  No no guys... It's a dumb fan... I just hate when people don't know the facts. And then blindly spit **** out of their mouth.

                    I don't blame the players. I'd leave after one year if I was them, too. I just think they should be able to go to the NBA after high school and think it creates a bit of a sham.

                    College football isn't as bad in this regard as they have to wait three years before they can go to the NFL, though in either case many of the legit pro prospects aren't there to "play school" (not that I blame them). It's kind of silly that the NBA and NFL have college sports as their farm leagues, really.

                    EDIT: Bo Ryan's comments were uncalled for, to be clear.

                      Agreed. There are very few programs I have a great deal of respect for just based on how they handle themselves and how they were built up. UVA and Wisc. are 2 of those programs.


                      Comments like that make him come off as bitter and frankly isn't a good look for him or the continued success of his program.

                        I agree, but let's face it, it's going to be awhile before the Badgers to get to the final 4. Bo is 67 years old, how many years does he have left in the tank?

                        Heck, it was 71 years ago before they played for the national championship, comes once in a lifetime.

                        His dream was probably shattered and I can at least understand where he is coming from, but also agree the timing wasn't right.

                          Football's unique because of it's violent nature. Eighteen-year-olds physically aren't ready to take the pounding of the NFL.

                          The NBA & NFL are smart - college sports are their FREE farm leagues. What a great racket they have going.

                            Totally agree with both your points! Just like when WSC and Harrison had their **** ups. I guess I can extend it to Bo Ryan as well.

                            Re watching the game right now.... Watching Allen take over. So much complaining on the badgers side.

                              I think it makes things more difficult for coaches to build teams. However, I don't see how having all of the best players spend a year in college is hurting the sport. At least as colelge fans we get to see these kids come in an play for our schools. In the years past these players would have gone straight to the NBA and the talent level in collge bakstball would be worse.
