Memo to the NCAA: Allow charity exhibition games every single year

A few days ago, I did something I wouldn’t normally do on a Sunday afternoon. I watched a meaningless, college basketball exhibition game on my couch.

Correction: I paid to watch a meaningless preseason college basketball game on my couch.

Actually, double-correction: It wasn’t meaningless at all.

The game was the Kansas-Missouri “Border War” revived, and I’ll be honest: I’d be shocked if I see 10 better college basketball games all season long. This game had it all. Great players (Michael Porter Jr., Devonte Graham), a Hall of Fame coach and two really good teams which are both capable of making deep NCAA Tournament runs.
