I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why this wouldn't work but it's an idea.

Dickie V just wrote an article suggesting this same theory.

I can't believe he didn't suggest sending the NCAA's champs
"They'd be Awesome, Baby!" Could you imagine Vitale's reaction if Duke were going to the Olympics.

There are two problems with this solution that I can see.
First, too many NBA players don't want to play in the Olympics.
Second, there are going to be more and more of these important roles on championship teams filled by foreign players. Imagine if the Mavericks had this honor, for example.

Vitale suggested 3 alternate representatives to replace any foreign players.
