rumor college bball be pushed back a month

[podsox]

ncaa vice president wants to push season back to December and end it at the end of april or early may so they don't have to compete with football. it really doesn't make a difference to me

I would love that if it helped eliminate basketball only fans.

fucking millennials.....god forbid sports fans have to follow more than one sport in a season at the same time, once again i suspect this is driven by television contracts....april absurdity here we come!

I don't understand.

 

[uncfan103]

I don't understand.

Carolina has a lot of basketball fans that do not support the football team, don't care if they're successful, and some that don't even want them to exist. If pushing the season back a month could help eliminate even a few of those fans, I would enjoy it.

Also, I'd like it because it would mean more basketball for me

I'm all for eliminating Carolina fans.

NCAA Considering Moving Back College Basketball Season 1 Month | Bleacher Report

 

[The Derski]

So it would be called April Madness? Doesn't have the same ring to it.

 

[NDHoosier101]

Fuck that.

Ultimately, when NCAA Football expands to a 16 team playoff, it will then conflict with the pushed back a month basketball season.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

You can't just change March Madness. YOU CAN'T. Someone needs to start a petition.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

One of the dumbest things I've ever heard and no chance it happens.

They want more people watching the beginning of the season?

Well guess what brainiacs. Moving the madness to April competes with MLB season starting up, NBA playoffs and NHL playoffs. Also good luck with your turner tv deal since they cover NBA.

But it ain't happening. The final 4 is booked thru 2021 as is and I hear they are close to expanding that.

March Madness is the greatest playoff process in all of sports. NCAA, you have one job: don't fuck with March.

NCAA thinks it is football overlap that is the problem....fucking morons. How about your dumb ass one and done policy is more to blame for diluting the product. Needs to Adopt NCAA baseball rules. Let high schoolers be drFted but If you opt for college than two years commitment.

The NCAA needs a comprehensive policy that is the same for all sports. The baseball system seems to work best. If you are old enough and can get drafted into military service then you should be able to earn a living doing whatever the hell you want.
