ASU President Michael Crow: College basketball has a fundamental problem

Dr. Michael Crow, the President of Arizona State University, in regards to the problems plaguing college basketball, says: "We shouldn't be a place where somehow we're semi-pro, half college this, half college that."

Arizona State President Michael Crow said Thursday that college basketball's days of being a farm system to the NBA need to end and that the sport needs to return to its roots of simply being a college sport.

"I’m a big believer that people coming in from high school should really focus on learning to be a student, and then developing their athletic ability to a higher level,'' Crow told azcentral sports.
