FIBA’s new international tournament rules: Capitulation, silent collusion or just plain selling out?

Apologies from BallinEurope for not weighing in on this … thing until this morning, but after rereading it for the nth time, BiE felt the rant building but wanted to avoid posting an overly emotional response.
