[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fan base at Maryland wasn't happy with the move at all. You can still hear Gary Williams complain even with the $$ windfall![/quote]

Debbie Yow almost bankrupted the athletic department; they needed the money. Gary was mad because he could no longer pitch playing against Duke and UNC to recruits. He was right to be worried, [b]Maryland is even more of an afterthought now in basketball[/b] [/quote]

Do colleges & universities still play basketball ?[/quote]

College basketball has plummeted in quality. The regular season is almost meaningless. First weekend of March madness is still an awesome product but that’s it. It used to be great … now its just ok.[/quote]

Since this is all about money, the money in college basketball is in the tourney, and that money goes to the NCAA.

Now, if the SEC/Big 12/B1G get to a certain size, they may decide to hold their own tournament, and depending on the member schools, that could be meaningful revenue.[/quote]
