I have growing recognition that my enthusiasm no longer makes much sense.  My fandom is mostly fueled by lifetime habit. 
The top programs are one and done factories.  Thatswhat it takes to compete.  It would make more sense to root for a mid-major except that most of them are inconsistent and only peak when their team gains a couple of years experience.

The problem is not the shot clock.  The Big East was great with the same old shot clock.  Games are low scoring because the players hardly know each other.

The problem is the ethereal rosters.  Thank you CJ, but you are the last of a dying breed, a player that could have left for a paycheck but decided to stay.  One and dones are underpaid hired hands.  They do not represent the student body, most of which are working for their degrees.  Big-time athletes represent themselves.  As of yesterday, the die has been cast, the system is about to self-destruct.  College basketball is roulette basketball, or as Forest Gump might say, its a box of chocolate, you never know what you might get.  Can you imagine any professional team that cleared out its biggest stars every year?  They would have no fans.
