lol all 4 1 seeds in the final four for the women. What a useless sport.

Instead of just opening up paying all the college players an unlimited amount, each school should have a hard cap implemented. Ya get a mil a year to spend. Then its skill based on recruiting and recognizing diamonds in the rough. That'd make the sport better than the NBA (as thats what the NBA should do).

So the NBA should have a salary cap and emphasize getting good players for cheap?

By the way, Notre Dame is up on undefeated UConn with a minute left.

ND just hit a huge jumper off an inbound with a sec left on the shot clock to go up 3.

Still up 3 with the ball and 21 sec left. One time every few years Geno gets to practice coaching from behind.

ND up 5. They’re going to lose in the Final Four again.

Tie game. Great play to set up a 3 by UConn and two ND turnovers. UConn with the ball and a chance to win. Wow.

OT. Geno with two great inbounds plays to free up good shots late.
 
NBA should have a hard cap for teams and no cap on individual salaries, so the best 30 players are on 30 different teams. Rest is on coaching and identifying value for the rest of the roster. In the NCAA, the top 100 players would all be on diff teams.

I generally agree with you. But you would still get super teams of unselfish elite players and value talents who would take less to play with them and win championships.

How would free agency work in your system?

Well its not my system, I'm basically just stealing from haralabob. But like he advocates no draft and just rookies can come in and get what they can get. Free agency would seemingly work the same way as it does now, free agents are free to sign with whatever team has cap room to sign them.

Very hard to get past a player willing to take a discount for a ring, but assuming the hardcap is the same around $100 mil it is now, someone would pay Lebron like $75 mil. Is he really gonna go take $20 mil somewhere else to get a better chance at a ring? You could probably create safeguards to prevent folks from ring shopping like having each team say what they'd be willing to pay for X player like lebron and that he's unable to sign for an amount significantly less than what that # is.

That's an auction.

And yeah, great finish in ND-UConn. #24 was so clutch down the stretch. Shortest player on the court burns them again.

Yeap, pretty much. Makes for a great league, don't it? A handful of teams will get eliminated each year because of injuries, but then there should be parity amongst the remaining 20 teams.

That eliminates free agency.

And are you sure you want a system of rich white guys bidding on NBA players and telling them where they can and can't play?

Now this is why I moved back to NC. What a gorgeous spring morning. Perfect long run weather.

There should be no cap.

Or if there is you shouldn't be penalized for re-signing players you have drafted. They shouldn't count against the cap, but if you go over and trade them, you don't get that money back versus the cap. If you re-sign players you drafted and they either go over the cap themselves or are worth at least 75% (negotiable) of the cap, the remaining slots are at the average salary.

Example- Salary cap $120M- You sign three players you drafted for $90M, you get to sign the other 12 players on your roster at a max of $8M/player. If you sign one for $1, you can't another for $15M. You can only spend the average on each slot.

You could have a sliding scale. Take a look at OKC of a few years ago. They had KD, Russ, Ibaka and Harden. If you have 4 players you drafted at max or close to it, then you'd only get 80% of each slot to fill your roster.

The percentage of average salary per slot would go down as you sign more players whom you have drafted.
