Wolken: Move CBB Season To Jan-May

[NoPantsChico]

May be a little pie-in-the-sky, and logistically it can never happen, but interesting column:

In summation - problem: College hoops is nationally irrelevant for all but the 6-8 weeks between the Super Bowl and the end of the tournament. Big non-con events like Maui, the aircraft carrier game, UNC-UK, etc. don't grab eyeballs presumably because people are too fixated on football (college as well as the NFL) to care.

Resolution: Make the season start around New Year's and run into May so the regular season can get more of the spotlight.

This isn't in the column, but I like that CBB taking up the whole semester would keep players from dropping off the map academically before the end of the school year and hurting APR marks.

NBA would throw a hissy fit because they might have to do some work to change some stuff. Plus, that would also make kids go to class after April. How horrendous.

no thanks. I don't want to watch shit that late into the year. It'd also give players no time to test the waters and decide to come back before the draft.


They need to just quit fucking with it all together.

Final Four time also means Spring is around the corner, not that it's already here. Leave it alone.

My sports year starts in September every year . . . CFB > NFL > Bowl Season > NFL Playoffs > CBB Conference Play > Tournament > Baseball > Royals Eliminated > Three months of pool time > Start over.

This, this, and a whole fucking bunch more of this.

You bastards can screw around with anything else, but leave my damn college basketball the fuck alone.
