For everyone who loves it
The Game
Most of this site is built for the recruit and the people helping him. This part is for the rest of us. The arguments that start in the gym and never end: who the GOAT is, which programs are still blue bloods, who the best coaches are and what the word even means, and where the money is taking the college game. Every piece argues from the record and ends with a verdict. None of it is NBA news. It is the game, the way people who love it actually talk about it.
