Subject: Changes the NCAA should make

Rick, I enjoy your coverage of Iona and golf in general.

From all your experiences covering college basketball you have unique insight into the different teams, coaches and players that the average fan does not have. We all know that the NCAA is a large often times political organization not unlike the federal government. If the NCAA were ready to make changes "what would you like to see done?" in regard to:

the influence of the sneaker companies
the NCAA Clearinghouse and SAT admission type standards
the influence of AAU teams on recruiting
recruiting regulations in general
graduation rates of players
special treatment of players vs. the student population

Thanks for your comments. Jeff Ruland seems to be all over the country recruiting players, one suggestion for a pre-season story is "how being a basketball coach is really a year around activity". It would be interesting for everybody to get your take on how Jeff approaches it and how much time and travel it actually requires.
