I saw that. That's the dumbest move they've ever made. Worse than anything. That's letting pro players play again. So jow you come out of high school and go G league and then after a couple years go to college at 21 and get NIL money and hope you get an nba shot at 23 or 24. Such a joke.

Take this same mentality with football. Let Canadian league players play college ball if they had eligibility left.

Letting minor league baseball players who went straight out of high school in college ball. Its going to happen now.

Good for Tom. He is 100% right. People aren’t being held accountable to the consequences of their decisions.

Yet another nail in the coffin.

I still believe before it’s all said and done, college athletes won’t even need to be students any longer.

Sad.

Exactly right. Too many cases where a player is not held accountable. Glad to see our football coach is holding people accountable though.
