What is going on in College basketball

 I don't think core values have anything to do with it. Kids go to college to hopefully wind up making money playing basketball. They receive nothing resembling an education because they either aren't interested or don't have the time to take advantage of the "opportunity." Then some self serving coach recruits over them or decides they aren't as good as he thought when he swindled them initially and they either transfer or give up their dream. The whole system is so exploitative it's a shame that so many "institutions of higher learning" buy into it for the sake of a buck. I root for kids who transfer because it's usually for a good reason and because they have the chops to actually buck the system. And why is it that they have to wait a season if they've kept up their end of the academic bargain? To prevent programs from gaining an unfair advantage? Well, guess what - there are plenty who have achieved that despite the so called rules. I've always felt the kids deserved to be compensated for the millions they generate but it'll never happen as long as the sham NCAA organization stays unchecked. Hey, professionals are now in the olympics and nobody died except maybe the IOC. I just wish the BS would end under a much more fair and clean system.
 
 So bob, aren't these kids getting their education paid for at some of the most prestigious colleges? So the schools should pay hundreds of thousands a year in tuition plus pay them to play there as well?? The rest of us are left paying off our student loans years after our education is finished, while these exploited kids are making millions in the NBA.obviously many of them don't make it to the nba, but hey at least they don't
owe thousands in student loans
 
It gets crazier.

University of San Francisco coach Rex Walters announced Thursday that SIX (!!!) players are transfering out of the program - 2 starters and 4 reserves.

Didn't Allan Chaney transfer once already?

Interesting to see Dragovich from ND on the list.

Wow Anthony Fields of Wake leaving (former teammate of Dom) after just 1 year.

Malik's name finally becomes 'formal'

Wow Swopshire!
 
 “@GoodmanCBS: Providence guard Gerard Coleman likely to transfer, source told CBSSports. Friars will definitely lose Bilal Dixon and Ron Giplaye.”

That kid blew up last year. Didn't he have a good showing when we watched him at Baruch?
 
 The kid Renaldo Woolridge was a top 60 recruit. Didn't put up inspiring stats at UT

He played 9 mins per game. 212 minutes in the year. Not a ton but more than a walkon.

Took 33 shots in 24 games. 11 threes in that time as well. Minutes might have been there but its clear he wasn't part of the offense.

Not a large sample, I'll agree. Only looked at %'s.
 
Big body leaving Nebraska. Sounds like he might be available mid-season.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegebas...a-center-diaz-not-returning-for-senior-season

 LINCOLN, Neb. -- New Nebraska coach Tim Miles has announced that center Jorge Brian Diaz will not return for his senior season with the Cornhuskers.

Diaz missed the last 14 games of the season because of chronic soreness in his feet. He averaged 8.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 16 games.

The 6-foot-11, 244-pound Diaz started 65 of his 81 career games at Nebraska and averaged 9.4 points and 4.2 rebounds.

Miles said Tuesday that Diaz planned to return to his native Puerto Rico.
