You can't do that if you're gonna have teams play on Tuesday night in Dayton. You have to give them time to travel, do press, have a practice, and get settled.

Play them all on Wednesday. The
Only reason they don’t do any of this is money. They want the games on TV, they want the selection show in prime time. My point is that it could be done in a way where all the games and their results are taken into consideration.

Oh, it can surely be done. But I agree that they won't, for a variety of reasons.

All of the betting, and the total amounts, are a huge red flag for some kid or group of kids to throw a game. Let’s face it, if you play D1 ball and you don’t make squat compared to Col Flagg… and some “fixer” approaches you with promises of 7 figures to throw a game…
Great googly-moogly, I’d put those odds pretty good that “Johnny” may take the money and run. Enter the portal and go to a different team… leave the school behind who you’ve just shat upon with your missed FT’s and your fouling a 3pt shooter in the waning seconds… or stepping into the lane for a FT violation.

We’re fools to think this type of stuff won’t happen, or hasn’t happened.

If you’re the 2nd best player on the team, and the best player makes 10x the NIL you do, and you’re looking to portal out anyway, and the mobster comes at you with serious coin… shit… Katy bar that damn door. The fix is in.

The days of players getting not-shit was the era ripe for players throwing a game.

Player #1: Fucking Coach gets millions and I get no spending money, a shitty single bed in a dorm room THAT I SHARE with another guy in a single bed…. I can throw THIS game myself. We’ll still win; so, that’s cool. We just won’t win by 12.

Players #2 and #3: We can’t make the team win or lose. We can rough up that dickhead star in practice enough so that we don’t cover the spread. Also, if it’s close to the spread, we’ll just turn it over or fire up stupid shots.
