How to improve basketball

Our guys just studied too much (apparently). Only 23 of the 65 NCAA Tournament teams have graduated half of their school's players the last few years. HALF? The teams with low graduating rates seem to have much better teams. Is it possible that the Ponies are just too smart? :wink:

It just shows what happens to teams that play by the NCAA rules. You break the rules, you win. :lol: You abide by the rules, you lose. :( It is really sad what has happened college sports. :cry:

I've said it before. Create majors in basketball and football. Studying would be practice. After graduation, they can coach. SMU took the lead by establishing the Guildhall, now they need to take the lead by creating the Couch 'Em school of Basketball
