How can you like the collge game? 56 3-point shots in the NCAA finals game! 24 of them were made for 72 points! That’s half the points in the game. Take into account the 16 points from free throws and you’ve got well less than half your points being scored off of actual skill or strategy. College basketball has become a 3-point exhibition and not even a good one!
Let's just make it more simple. Have each team come out, line up on their perspective 3-point lines and take turns shooting 3-pointers for 40 minutes.
How boring is this? Let’s take this model and expand the idea into other sports:
-A baseball game where over half the hitters attempt a bunt, only a quarter of them get on base, and over half the runs are either walked or bunted in.
-A hockey game where over half the points come off of slap shots from half-ice. But everyone fires from half-ice as soon as they get the puck and no one makes moves towards the goal. Cool for one game? Maybe. For a season?
-A football game in which every time a team gets within field goal range they try to kick one... even on first down!
-A soccer game in which… well just a soccer game.
