Coach K and the Duke Blue Devils are preparing for a historic Final Four showdown with ACC rival North Carolina on Saturday in what should be an absolute battle. Ahead of the much-anticipated contest, Coach K offered some insight on how he thinks the NCAA should change March Madness.

So, what exactly did he recommend, you ask? Coach K believes the NCAA Tournament should follow a college football model.

Via Stewart Mandel:

He suggested a football model — major college football is controlled by an entity, the College Football Playoff, that falls outside the NCAA’s purview — might be in order for men’s and women’s basketball, and maybe some other sports, too.

“Do they have the autonomy to handle situations at that level that never gets to the big house,” which is the NCAA headquarters, the coach asked.

“You’ve got to look at structure and organization and shared leadership,” the coach said.

Basically, the legendary Duke coach thinks the NCAA needs to take note of the College Football Playoff, which operates strictly on its own. It doesn't have any affiliation with the NCAA. Coach K evidently believes basketball, among other sports potentially, should follow this path in the future.

However, March Madness is one of the most exciting tournaments in all of sports. In college football, they have a ton of different bowl games then the best teams typically compete in the CFP.

However, the Duke boss clearly has some thoughts on how the NCAA needs to change things. Interesting, to say the least.
