If not for the fact that I am a lifelong fan, grew up in upstate, and I'm a grad, I would not care that much about college bb in its current state.  A large part of what made college bb great is that teams had followings greater than their alumni.  Games were a big deal to lots of people.  The fact that the best players are now one and done destroys any semblance of stability.  This makes college bb a sport that is less attractive.  Game outcomes are pretty much predetermined by recruiting rather than team development, player development or coaching strategy.  It's hardly different from watching pick-up games.  I imagine that the typical person tuning into a game, that is not an alum, is simply looking at the one and done players and trying to gage how good a pro he might be.

I wonder what the numbers are in terms of NBA growth compared to college basketball revenue growth.   TV contracts are up but how much in percentage compared to the nba?
