I think that this has a lot to do with why scoring is down.  For the most part, kids are going to college from H.S, where they dominated and really did not play against good defenses; however, the step up to college often shows that they were scorers and not necessarily shooters (for example, it is clear, at least to me, that Troy was probably more of a scorer, given his superior athletic ability; whereas, JBJ is clearly a great shooter with a scorers mentality).  The good ones move on to the NBA after a year and the schools are left with players who probably have not adapted or adjusted to more intense defenses.   
 
I am still not sure why people want to make it like the NBA.  The NBA is one of the worst products out there, in my opinion.  No one plays defense and typically there are two passes or less (usually less) and a shot goes up.  They don't really do a lot to move the defense and most of the time, it is someone just trying to create something out of nothing.  The NBA was a lot better when you had more refined players (those with 3-4 years of college ball)being drafted.

The defense argument about the NBA is always funny. Because it really isn't all that accurate

that's some absolute BS! What is the NCAA gonna do?

 

What the NCAA will do or should do?

 

Will do:  praise Syracuse for helping with the investigation and the year ban is all the punishment they deserve

Should do:  Nice try Cuse, you'll sit out next year and cough up a scholly for a few years

Just to add onto this, the dumbed down offensive argument seems to be out of date to an extent too. The Hawks, Spurs, and Warriors are all considered top NBA teams, their ball movement and off the ball movement is incredible. There are other teams like this as well. Whereas teams that more rely on one on one ball, the Knicks, are horrible.

When a team self-imposes, its less work for the NCAA. Outside of a coach suspending him/herself for a game and a school fining themselves pocket change, the NCAA will accept any mild punishment a school "imposes" on themselves.
