There is a more then marginal amount of fans that watch NCAA games purely for prospects.   Nowhere near as big as traditional college fan bases but it is not a small number.  I know on the Raptors board the amount of people that watch NCAA games for prospects far outnumbers those that watch NCAA games because they enjoy the NCAA or a team.  And there is quite a number of them that watch games with prospects.

Remember that Live Sports, for even events that draw marginal audiences are drawing strong TV rights - nothing like it was 10 years ago.

They may also be trying to set up as some part of the NBA "farm system" and get a relationship with the NBA.   Note that many NBA exec' have changed their view as the NCAA as being the best way to develop players (for some players anyway) -- in part because many of them have got their organization's own head out of their asses in trying to make G League development important.

I think chances are that this will not make it, but I would not completely write it off either.

I'm not sure why some are bothered here by it.  They say they hate the one and done types, so here you go.    You will get more continuity in college, but you won't get as many top prospects.  But you will get some.
