MyBB Parrish: College basketball is broken...(Cokley and UAB mention)
College basketball is broken and here's the only way the NCAA can fix the sport

https://www.cbssports.com/college-basket...the-sport/

And, obviously, that means different things for different people. So, as with everything else in this country, the NCAA should allow the market to decide exactly who gets what. For example, if Nike wanted to sign Marvin Bagley to a $2 million endorsement deal in exchange for him enrolling at Duke, and Bagley, after entertaining all other offers, wanted to accept it, let him do it. Similarly, if a car dealership in Birmingham wanted to sign Chris Cokley to a $5,000 endorsement deal in exchange for him enrolling at UAB, and Cokley, after entertaining all other offers, wanted to accept it, let him do it. Just let student-athletes -- and I mean all student-athletes, male and female, from football players to volleyball players and everybody in between -- take whatever somebody is willing to give them for whatever reason. Make it legal. Do that and suddenly, literally overnight, everything would be above board. And we'd never again have to wonder why this player went to this school or that player went to that school. It would all be transparent. Some players would get a lot. Some players would get a little. Some players would get nothing more than the scholarship they already get.

Do away with recruiting. Go with a draft instead. That would even the playing field - and that’s why it will never happen.

That's a bad idea.

The term "contract" was not in that segment. Suppose player X goes to school A for $50,000 for season 2019. What happens if school B gives a larger offer for year 2020? If the process is to be truly "market driven", tampering becomes an obsolete & irrelevant term. Every season becomes an "option season" and every player is a "free agent" after every year. The 2018 National Championship team may find itself having to bid heavily against other school's boosters to keep most of its impact players at that school for 2019.
