Exactly where in the hell did sanity go in B-ball ?
-
Will we ever see/or have normalcy or sanity again in the College game ?
Will the NCAA ever be able to stand up and actually put their feet in the ground and actually act like they have a pair ?
I mean where is the insanity ever going to stop ? - -The Collegiate game has been totally crushed. they have totally ruined the atmosphere of a rival COLLEGE game.
We now are allowing a kid that has played i G league ( James Nnaji ( Baylor ) 7 footer who was the 31th pick top of 2nd round who is not happy as to where he was drafted and did wand to woller around in some crazy league over sea's to be allowed almost being like recruited again for College-- -IT'S NOT RIGHT .the kid is able to come in and eligible immediately and will have FOUR YEARS of eligibility.
Meanwhile back at the Ranch of the NCAA absolute crickets not a peep. College has GOT to get themselves separated asap from the NCAA as a Governing body- -as they bring nothing to he College scene just spineless

It's certainly a mess but the NCAA allowed it when they let Euro professional players come play College ball this year. Nnaji never signed an NBA contract or played in an NBA game and has played in Europe only I believe since getting drafted. So his loophole fits the Euro model they are allowing now and he's the first example. It's still crazy that he was drafted in the first round and now has 4 years of college eligibility. The motive for Nnaji is financial since why would someone petition to come back to College after leaving for a professional career. He's clearly getting paid more to come to Baylor then staying wherever he was prior. Baylor won't be his last stop either.

@ROCKCHALK2025 Substitute the word "college" for life. The whole damn world has lost its collective mind. Proof of that - just look at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

I’m sure the NCAA would like to more heavily regulate this stuff but as federal courts have repeatedly ruled, a lot of their regulatory measures violated the Sherman Act

@BeddieKU23 ya and now we also have another at BYU can't remember his name the whole thing is just so screwed up
-
Crazy, played last year in the G-League.

I can’t believe the NCAA can’t set any rules or the schools can’t make them sign contacts of some sort. @marshhawk I hate to say it but I 100% agree with Cal on this. It’s gonna be more detrimental to these athletes in the long run. Look at a AJ Storr type goes to 4 or 5 different schools and gets a bag of cash at each. He’s living the life right now but he probably doesn’t get a degree, isn’t good enough to play in the NBA, he likely blows thru this money and ends up broke with no future. Thats not a positive outlook for anyone involved.

Until the NCAA comes up with Collective Bargaining this stuff will be possible

@BeddieKU23 I truly think like what's been talked about I think you will see the Colleges are going to break away from the NCAA and form a totally different governing body as it seems the NCAA has become useless
