My dumb idea. Disband the NCAA and make college athletes actual professionals. Multiple "leagues" and keep conferences, playoffs and tournaments as they are but add in relegations and promotions like European soccer.
I think ultimately what you're saying is we need a slasher that can get to the rim during a drought. I do agree with that and saying that wasn't Wilkerson's game and that he was and is a good scorer can both be true. I thought that's what Conerway's role was going to be coming into this season and we probably would have won the first Northwestern game at least if he didn't get buried on the bench. Weird year.
Really thought this would go differently originally https://www.thestarpress.com/story/sports/college/ball-state/2026/03/07/ball-state-basketball-coach-michael-lewis-fired-after-four-seasons-mac/89037817007/#
I have a bad feeling about this game, but on the other hand I had really good feelings about Purdue and Northwestern so I may just not know what the hell I’m talking about!
