Stephanie White, head coach of the Indiana Fever, said this about the current circumstances of collegiate basketball, “Basketball wasn’t built on contracts and bidding wars — it was built on sweat, loyalty, and legacy. Now the game is drifting into a marketplace where the highest bidder wins, not the most committed team. If this continues, what once was a brotherhood of passion will become nothing more than a business fueled by money, not meaning.”
From my vantage point, White’s fear has already manifested and there doesn’t seem to be any avenue for return. What was once an exciting world of collegiate sports, has, for this fan, become an irreparable travesty.

I don't want this to be true.  But it is.
