Mike Finger: After the chaos, will a better NCAA Tournament emerge?
Saint Peter's Doug Edert celebrates after Saint Peter's won a college basketball game against Purdue in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament, Friday, March 25, 2022, in Philadelphia. Someday, the changes might end up working for everyone. The NCAA Tournament will improve, because fans will recognize more names on the backs of the jerseys, and the NBA will benefit, because more teenagers can grow up on someone else’s dime.
Even for a master program builder like Kelvin Sampson, whose Houston Cougars were vying for a second consecutive Final Four trip Saturday at the AT&T Center against Wright’s Wildcats, construction projects come with extra challenges these days.Just think about everyone’s favorite feathered tournament sensation, the precocious Saint Peter’s Peacocks.
Unlike in the past, though, Holloway’s players now enjoy something much closer to a coach’s freedom of movement. So if Holloway takes a job at, say, Seton Hall, couldn’t all of the underclassmen on his roster do the same thing, while racking up a few endorsements along the way? That seems only fair, even if it would leave Saint Peter’s starting over with only a banner and some skyrocketing merchandise sales to show for it.
