The Champions Classic used to be a respected event, now you can't even mention it without people snickering and holding back extreme amounts of laughter.
What happened?
A dynasty happened, they thought they had all the champions when they started the Classic. They counted all the teams and said "yep, that's all of them, and thats all there will ever be". Only that's not what happened... not at all. A dynasty has emerged and the Villanova Wildcats are on the verge of winning 3 of the last 4 national titles. Its time to add them to the Classic before its too late.
Who do we take out?
This is a tough one, I thought about it for 3 weeks in a row, then I took a walk in the park and pondered who should.... wait, just kidding.... I thought about this for 3 seconds... Michigan State needs to go. I have no idea why they were there in the first place. Final Fours are not championships unless you are some kind of new age hippie.
UPDATE:
I can't reply, since this amazing site has a very generous post limit of 1. However, I see there has been an amazing outpouring of support for this post and the ideas it is proposing. We need to keep the positive momentum building so we can SAVE THE CLASSIC!
UPDATE 2:
It takes a special kind of stupid to compare tv ratings for CBS/ESPN with FOX and TBS but the fine gentlemen in this thread seem to have pulled that off.
Also, the nova Home board is on 24/7, not rivals, which is why there are no nova fans on this board.
Facts are fun, SAVE THE CLASSIC!
