Reags Blog Was Right…Additionally: Here's Some Other Things College Basketball Needs To Do Via Scheduling
College Hoops: Reacts Blog Spot On With More Scheduling Changes Needed
Reacts Blog Proposal
The Reacts Blog recently published an article calling for a number of changes to the college basketball schedule. These changes included moving the start of the regular season back to November 15th, eliminating all non-conference games in December, and reducing the number of conference games played. These changes have been met with mixed reactions from fans and experts alike.
Is November 15th Too Late?
One of the most controversial proposals is moving the start of the regular season back to November 15th. This would give teams more time to prepare for the season and would also allow for a more even distribution of games throughout the year. However, some argue that this would make the regular season too long and would take away from the excitement of the NCAA Tournament.
Eliminating December Games
Another controversial proposal is eliminating all non-conference games in December. This would allow teams to focus on their conference schedules and would also reduce the number of injuries that occur during the early part of the season. However, some argue that this would take away from the excitement of the non-conference schedule and would make it more difficult for teams to schedule quality opponents.
Fewer Conference Games?
The final proposal is reducing the number of conference games played. This would give teams more time to rest and recover and would also reduce the number of injuries that occur during the conference season. However, some argue that this would make the conference races less competitive and would take away from the excitement of the regular season.
Other Proposals
In addition to the Reacts Blog proposals, there are a number of other changes that have been proposed to the college basketball schedule. These changes include:
- Moving the NCAA Tournament to March Madness
- Expanding the NCAA Tournament to 96 teams
- Eliminating the one-and-done rule
Conclusion
The college basketball schedule is in need of some changes. The Reacts Blog proposals are a good starting point, but there are a number of other changes that could be made to improve the schedule. It is important to get feedback from all stakeholders before making any changes to the schedule. However, it is clear that some changes are needed to make the college basketball schedule more fan-friendly and more competitive.
