04/30/12: The College Basketball Champions League




CBS Sports Eye On College Basketball Podcast show

Summary: How can college basketball be better? By changing everything about its regular and postseason. Seriously. The NCAA tournament is the best American postseason event. But you know what the best postseason event in the world is? The UEFA Champions League. It rewards the best teams, makes for the most interesting and competitive regular season, and offers two different kinds of titles, both respected in their own way. So what if college basketball modeled itself after the Champions League? Made a secondary tournament that was five times better than the NIT? The sport's popularity would go through the roof. Let SI.com's Andy Glockner and Bylaw Blog's John Infante, who join host Matt Norlander, explain to you how this could work. It's the offseason: let's have a little fun and a lot of imagination.
