CBB is a dying sport

It is hilarious you think it is more popular than ever. That is comical.
Also, I am outlining how it is dying. This isn't just a numbers game. Hell, gambling is more prevalent than ever. How many people do you think watching the sport have a rooting interest outside of their bet? Look at attendance at games across the country.
I’m more of a UKFB fan (always have been) BUT I don’t ever want UK to be known for football because basketball is suffering. Let’s just be great at both and be done w it.
Having not read the thread, I don't think you can claim something is "dying" if it's still going to be in existence decades from now. If college basketball still exists in 20 or 30 years, which it will, then no, it's not dying. So that pretty much answers that question.
Exactly ... we need an in-depth investigation to determine whatever could it possibly be ... yes, indeed. A big mystery ... not.
... and Kovach has gone on to a very successful career beyond his doctoral studies in medicine to law and then business. Kovach is an example of what college athletics is all about and should be heralded for his success and affiliation with UK. I couldn't agree more with your post. An interesting side note is that Kovach was the linebacker who tackled Walter Payton on the play that Payton broke Jim Brown's rushing record.
You have several valid points that seem to really concern you. On the other hand, my point is pointed more towards the product on the floor and the level the game is currently being played at. Thus, the enjoyment that I get out of watching these great players that work extremely hard at their craft and the crazy things that they can do on the basketball court. A game that I was a pretty good player at when I was young. But, I can only dream of playing like these players of today. People have been complaining about officials since the beginning of sports so why think it is any worst now. If anything, it is much better with the use of replay. You can go back as far as the beginning of sport to find cheating. Posters on this board constantly bring up Wooden cheating in the 60s, Zion's house, and my favorite UNCheat. The difference is I more making FUN of them than being so serious about it. Again, there has been cheating going on since back in the good ol' days of sport. They use to call them "Bringing in a Ringer" . College basketball is just fine. College kids will keep filling small gyms at small schools and the big boys will still bring in large crowds to cheer for their teams. If you think basketball in general is going to get less popular as a sport< I don't know what to tell you. I think you sound more like the old man than me.
Sorry, yes you are correct. We have people here who have zero conscience, they want their basketball and wins, ethics be damned.
You're
You're right---But don't you enjoy watching these great players do what you wish you could do. By the way. the extremely ethical PGA (LOL) just showed you what moral and ethics are worth. I may watch the $hitty sport of golf even less than before now. But I don't like golf. I love basketball so I will continue to watch. That is the bottom line.
