I have become increasingly uncomfortable with watching a field house full of wealthy white people (because it is so expensive to get tickets) watching black kids mostly risking it all to try to make it into the NBA. Mr. Mercat and I used to have season tickets in Allen Field House on Naismith Blvd., the sacred ground of college hoops but got crowded out by reorganization and massive increase in tickets. They moved us to right behind the student section. The students not only stand through the entire game, they stand on their seats. I’m too old to do that. Having said that, it is awesome to watch the Jayhawks play in Allen Field House. I plan to do it one more time before I die. I will probably have to pay as much for one game as we did for season tix ten years ago.
By "risking it all" do you mean a torn ACL?
You can watch them lose to the Shockers fromt the comfort of your couch tomorrow!v
I also think that the NBA and NFL should have post HS teams so the non students can just go there instead of clogging up college campuses taking petty made up courses and pretend they are college material...
