College basketball is facing challenges with the dominance of football in the sports landscape, as highlighted by Pittsburgh coach Jeff Capel. With major conferences generating millions in revenue from football, basketball is struggling to remain relevant and adapt to the changing sports landscape.
The NCAA’s recent decision to allow athletes to profit from their likeness adds another layer of complexity to the college sports landscape. It remains to be seen how basketball will navigate these challenges and maintain its standing in the ever-evolving world of college athletics.
