I was confused by this list until I saw that it was a Katz production. Surely UM-MSU is a better rivalry than anything from 5 on down in this list.
I think the idea is good but since its year 1 there will be tweaks made. Gap of 72 hrs between playing another game. Fans arenāt sticking around that whole time. Houston-ND tip time on Wednesday at 12:30am is something as well.
Does anyone in LA care about UCLA vs USC basketball? Serious question.

Thank goodness this pro tournament expansion writer is leaving!
Jk John is good
At the very least, Michigan/MSU is better than UCLA/USC, NM/NMSU, and Penn/Princeton.
I lived through Xavier/Cincinnati rivalry so I buy it as a top 5 best rivalries in the country.
College basketball is back

Dawkins and Penny are wild
I had to google why heās available and why heās a target of No Morals Memphis.
Thatās a bold move, Cotton
wait I saw the news about Stansbury but he fired the whole staff???
apparently
Itās honestly crazy that things havenāt completely imploded at Memphis yet, every offseason is crazier than the last. Not sure if thatās a compliment to Penny or notā¦
How did I miss (or maybe I knew and forgot) that Tyrese Hunter transferred to Memphis??
Pj Haggerty shouldāve been a Wolverine
I really donāt understand how 22 year olds from overseas can just come play college hoops, but it feels like the sort of thing that weāll say āha! why wasnāt everyone doing that 2 years ago?!?!?!ā when a team makes the Final Four with a couple of 25 year old Euros in their lineup.
This development gets a from me.
this sucks. something has to be done before it becomes widespread
The one thing is that I think it takes a ton of work and connections. Academic work, scouting work, agent work, compliance work, etc. And Iām guessing a lot of these guys are going to be āsolid piecesā more than āmega starsā at the college level.
That effort to reward part of the equation might leave it as more of a niche thing, but I guess weāll see.
