I meant Halftime Cardfan sorry. I believe he's the one that constantly runs down Indiana All Stars!!
No one ripped my post so most must agree with the substance of it

The All Star mantra does not mean much to me. Quite honestly, the Indiana All Star game is close to being a thing in the past. I want the best players available. Just because you are an Indiana All Star does not mean you are going to be a good division one player. The All Star game has become very political and large media driven. I know as I have been involved in the workouts and have many coaching friends who are still involved with the workouts. Believe me there are kids who get past on or overlooked every year who are better than kids who make the team. I am talking about the last 5 or 6 kids on the roster, who are typically the kids Whitford has been recruiting. We want the best regardless of if they have all star on their chest.

I believe Basketball is still a plausible profit targeted enterprise, however it may take yet another reworking of the business model and management structure. Since this is all driven by University valuation of the good will generated by sports, and by the University Administration being driven by "best practices" which means how everyone else does it, the changes are going to have to involve how other similar universities decide to address the same issues. Since right now that NCAA money in basketball is a unique revenue source, together with the NCAA and regional TV, what happens in the future will depend on those contracts between the NCAA and TV. But overall, I think a more marketable product. On the revenue side in football, the loss of economic power by everyone except the power conferences is going to create crisis first, it appears. Probably implosion rather than explosion is the right term to use. Football at all but the highest level may be headed to a D3 structure, with little revenue and need to drastically cut costs. Basketball with smaller expense side, more parity, and more interest generated by the tourney (which unlike bowl games actually makes money for the parties too), that sport has more options. Nice example of "enterprise" douche speak, carry on. |
