I can proudly say it’s been longer than 8 years for me! Was at a bar last night and saw one of the teams had patches for Love’s truck stops??? They’re trying to sell advertising on their uniforms now???

Good source of revenue and European professional teams have been doing it for years.

Great idea. English soccer has the leagues plus two cups at the highest level. This should be adopted in more sports GBR NFM

The NBA had two choices:
1. Cut the regular season down because no one gives a shit about 89% of it and start at Christmas, but this also means cut your media revenue
Or
2. Find a way to make more of the regular season watchable and this is where the in season tournament was born, which is modeled after European cups in basketball and soccer. Winners get like $500k of free money so that's cool for the bench guys
It was a funky experiment but has been a success basically any way you slice it. TV ratings are up. Lots of good games that had a playoff feel and the players really gave a shit.

I've grown to like the NBA much more. I was always much more of a CBB fan but the college game is nothing like it was.
I don't typically get into the NBA until after football season but do enjoy the daily fantasy/gambling aspects of it.

100%
The NBA is about 500x more entertaining than college hoops. The skill level and athleticism of guys in the Association is just bananas

For sure. And honestly outside of Nebraska games I’d rather watch the NFL than CFB for the most part.
