I kind of like it, but where is the money going to come from the pay the players? The schools may not want to shell out a couple million for players and coaches. It is hard to make a new league successful (the most successful in basketball was the ABA decades ago and most of the teams folded and lost money, while 4 finally made it to the NBA.) Another problem - they might get the top prospect for a year, but they won't stay if they can make 10-20 times as much in the NBA after the first year.

I'd be all for it though if they can make it work. Not sure how this is really much different from the g-league, except they pay more.
