Fixing college athletics doesn’t have to be so complicated

Last week, the Rice Commission on College Basketball finally announced their recommendations to “save college basketball” and to the surprise of Syracuse Orange critics, banning the 2-3 zone wasn’t one of them.

John recapped how ridiculous most of them were. Now that I’m back from a week-long retreat, I’m happy to release my own recommendations. Just like the Rice Commission, I consulted with zero student-athletes or faculty members because why would we care what input they might have? Unlike that group, I did all of this with a non-existent expense account, it didn’t take me months to pull these together, and my recommendations are going to be applicable for all college sports.
