Very true article. I hope/doubt that the NBA will be gone for the entire season, but I don't think it will be around for much of college basketball OOC. Honestly, the Maui Invitational may have their highest ratings ever...a great year for us to be in it. Just have to trust the boys to make noise in the tournament.
Additionally, this is the year to prove to ESPN and other networks that CBB is a brand worth investing in. If we do end up going to a basketball only conference in the future, high ratings this year would help for getting a TV contract.
Finally, I also cannot wait til the beginning of the season! This year is one of potential and I like the new pieces we have added, all that remains to be seen is how they will work together in real games.
Actually, that got me thinking, how many people think that the style of play in China was more reflective of the lack of FR knowing the offense or of JTIII willing to try different things with new players?

I know you all really care a lot about my opinion, but I'm with those in favor of more college basketball. And I really couldn't care less about the NBA until college ends -- and really, not until the playoffs start. So I think this strike/lockout may very well, be a good thing. If we get more coverage of college hoops then, as others have suggested, maybe the powers that be will learn that there is a lot of interest in marquee college basketball games early in the year. After baseball ends, then the middle of the week is wide open for feature NCAA hoops. And I'm pretty sure that most of you will agree that a Gtown--Texas game, followed by a UCLA--Gonzaga game would be a great way to spend a Tuesday or Wednesday night in November or December. There's no reason we can't consistently have a lot more out of conference matchups between major teams. In all honesty, I don't think anyone wants to see Florida play Athletes in Action. Ok, that's an exhibition game, but you get the point. We also don't need to see Idaho St. make a road trip to Gainesville. I rather see the Gators go on the road to play UNLV as the late game of a double header. It could be kicked off by G'town hosting Texas Tech. That would also make an entertaining evening, right?
