[QUOTE="WizardBill, post: 1402374, member: 7438"] I agree with this. If you need an example, college baseball is a very low attendance sport. AA and AAA baseball is far more popular and is the path to the MLB teams. Sure, some can come from college baseball, but it is not nearly as prevalent as the minors in baseball. IF the NBA were to follow THAT model, it might be possible. However, it would be a LONG TERM investment to create a minor league that would stand the test of time. The NBA would have to spend substantial amounts of cash at a loss for a long time before it would become a viable situation. [/QUOTE]
