One and done: the scourge of college basketball

We are NOT the minor league for the NBA, even though we seem content to act like it. Something MUST be done to fix this situation, because it is destroying whatever small amount of integrity the game may have remaining. Players go to college for one semester (because they do not have to study the second semester, since they know they won't be staying anyway). All they have to do is get a minimal grade in the Underwater Basket Weaving curriculum for one semester, and then move on. I am heartily in favor of going back to having freshman ineligible for the varsity if that is what it takes to fix the situation, and I think it would. WHATEVER it takes - because it MUST get fixed, or college basketball will become a complete farce, if it is not already.
