Chaos erupts in college basketball as the NCAA’s handling of James Nnaji’s eligibility sparks outrage among top coaches. With John Calipari, Tom Izzo, and Matt Painter voicing frustration over the murky rules that allowed Baylor and head coach Scott Drew to add an NBA-drafted player, questions swirl: Is the problem the coaches, the players, or the ever-changing game itself? Cam Stuart and Sydney Wicker break down Calipari’s comments—was he defending Drew or calling him out?—and spotlight the lack of NCAA leadership fueling confusion across the sport.
Key topics include the NCAA’s toothless response, the need for collective bargaining agreements, and how the transfer portal, NIL, and NBA draft loopholes have thrown college basketball into disarray. Nicki Collen and Matt Painter weigh in with insider perspectives as the hosts debate possible solutions. Will college sports finally find structure—or is it destined for more chaos?
