In this episode, host Steve Hartman tackles issues plaguing both NCAA basketball and the NBA and what he thinks could fix them both. 


Steve discusses the current state of college basketball, highlighting the exciting mix of experienced players who can now stay longer due to NIL opportunities and high-performing freshmen. He also identifies key concerns such as decreased fan loyalty due to frequent player transfers and the adverse impact of the transfer portal on high school recruits and mid-major programs. Hartman suggests implementing a compensation model for mid-majors losing players to high majors and exploring relegation and tiered systems in the NBA to reduce load management issues and make games more meaningful. The proposal includes reducing NBA games, creating a three-tier system in professional basketball, and implementing a three-year contractual commitment for college players.


Then Steve breaks down his weekly Top 10 men's college basketball power rankings. Seven of the last week's top 10 lost so there's a lot to discuss and a big shake-up in the top 10. There's a new #1 and teams that fell off. Rivalries, huge home-court advantages were at play this week.
