How bad has college basketball gotten in the last decade?

Outside of a couple of teams (including upperclassman heavy UF), every game I watch is filled with poor everything. The one and done is killing the sport. Am I just getting old man syndrome or is this apparent to anybody else?

It has become almost unwatchable.

Basketball is my least favorite of all the major sports. The last few seasons I've made a real effort to get in to it, but it's pretty brutal to watch when I'm not into the sport much to begin with.
It's a mix of everything, poor defense, poor technical ability, pro hops, horrible officiating, etc. Makes it tough.

I don't think it's just the one and done rule, but yes, CBB has gotten a lot worse.
The initial downturn was during the HS-to-NBA exodus, which was only partially mitigated by the one-and-done rule. Also, the reduction of CBB scholarships from 15-12 basically changed the way teams played, so they relied on a lot of their star players instead of building up quality depth. As a result, I think this has resulted in a downturn in the quality of CBB.
The teams in the 1990s would have destroyed the current teams today.

SEC basketball this year is the worst I've ever seen it

College ball is just plain horrible. It is a mere shadow of its formal self. The NBA has completely ruined the game and the saddest part of it is that it doesn't even bother me that much. Ive become apathetic.

We need to expand the tourney to 200 teams.
It's the only way to be sure.

Watch a team like Butler or Creighton play, the SEC sucks. College basketball is still great to watch. Can't believe there are people that can sit and watch glorified high school baseball over CBB.

Its not been very entertaining for a while, honestly.

The NBA and college basketball are both very entertaining to me.

The NBA has zero defense and college basketball has zero offense. College basketball is definitely more of a train wreck though.
