Interesting artilcle regarding a Vegas group wanting to recruit top D1 players to play for them at $700K.

This would certainly change the landscape of college basketball. With a second or third team also joining ranks in the future all the blue chippers may not be available to programs like Kentucky.

What then? Coaches like Cal etc would actually have to coach regular talent or take the jobs of these Vegas type teams.

Agree that not every HS recruit is college material or would even want a education when they can make that kind of money. This would eventually create a level playing field for D1 programs.
