College basketball can’t afford to become baseball

The laughing man in the photo for this article does not play college basketball. He might pronounce Xavier wrong. He almost certainly doesn’t know the difference between a stagger screen and an elevator doors screen. His career, though, is analogous to what college basketball is toying with. That man in Francisco Lindor, and he’s a laughing, smiling, slick fielding, sweet swinging superstar that my hometown team will make no effort to pay what he is worth.

You see the Cleveland Indians are owned by the Dolan family. By most conservative measure the Dolans are worth $5.5 billion dollars.
