Unethical Recruiting and Talent Drain: The Decline of March Madness Upsets
In this episode, Queens University basketball coach Grant Leonard discusses the unethical recruiting tactics of SEC assistants, who scout players during elimination games. This aggressive recruiting, along with big name deals and easy transfers, is causing a talent drain from smaller schools to power conferences. Coaches from smaller programs lament the loss of their advantages with older, cohesive teams. This years NCAA tournament showcases the trend, with no twelfth seed or lower making it past the first round except High Point, and all sweet sixteen teams coming from power conferences. The talent gap is widening, leaving little room for classic March underdog stories.
