John Calipari on the state of college basketball: “There are a lot of older gentlemen with beards playing college basketball right now. He’s waving up into the stands at his kids. Crazy thing, he's using NIL for his first wife's alimony. Are we nuts?" 😂

@TheFieldOf68 If the kids are one and done it’s an issue. If they stay 4-5 yrs it’s an issue. Dam it man

@TheFieldOf68 Does he know he can play older kids too? It doesn’t have to be all freshmen and sophomores 😂

@TheFieldOf68 😂

@TheFieldOf68 "He's using NIL for his first wife's alimony." #BeyondClassic 🤭

@TheFieldOf68 Can’t believe it’s not Scott Hughes

@TheFieldOf68 He was used to paying all of his five star 18 year-old players under the table and promising them to be in the NBA lottery as a draft pick. He is used to having the best players in the country on his team and that ain’t happening anymore.

@TheFieldOf68 It’s such a simple fix . You get 4 years of HS . No red shirts or do overs . College sports should be 4 years starting the year graduate HS. No red shirts or do overs . It’s crazy we have let it get to this point .

@TheFieldOf68 I didn't understand what he said. I understand what he's trying to say but I hope he communicates better with his players.

@TheFieldOf68 When will the NCAA cap International athletic scholarships? It’s the biggest college story not being told

@TheFieldOf68 Hahaha, it's all ghetto ball now, pro or am

@TheFieldOf68 Majoring in NIL Eligibility

@TheFieldOf68 Where is the Arkansas v Texas tech game today?

@TheFieldOf68 He's right!

@TheFieldOf68 He’s right. It’s stupid. Go play pro basketball.

@TheFieldOf68 True dat. College sports doesn’t exist anymore which is sad. Talking to a dad of former college football player we both asked what was wrong with scholarships and stipends as rewards.

@TheFieldOf68 7 years of eligibility lol

@TheFieldOf68 Great point!

@TheFieldOf68 Rofl.....hes just pissed that everyone is now able to do what he used to do illegally.

@TheFieldOf68 Thanks for sharing y’all! ☺️

@TheFieldOf68 There’s nothing more entertaining than a slightly annoyed Italian-American.

@TheFieldOf68 a bit rich coming from Calipari

@TheFieldOf68 Good for that kid to have the talent for someone to throw em a bag to play basketball. Someone had to pay him, talk to that person

@TheFieldOf68 They are not kids. You know that. A lot are men. Fuck this guy respectfully.

@TheFieldOf68 Calipari's right. Some player pay is fine, but this level of free agency is ruining college sports. Rivalries gone, players transferring four times, fans knowing nothing about their own lineups much less who's on the opponent. Scale it all back.

@TheFieldOf68 Idc, they deserved to be paid…they should definitely be able to play while getting an education if they choose to

@TheFieldOf68 They have destroyed college athletics with all this insanity

@TheFieldOf68 It was literally your choice to recruit that way cal. Arizona is putting belt to ass on good teams and plays 4 true freshman legitimate minutes. The rules arent the problem, you refusing to get with the times is the problem

@TheFieldOf68 LeBron will be playing for Akron in 2026-27🏀

@TheFieldOf68 Why quit a good gig right? Permanent college athletes.

@TheFieldOf68 It’s a money making criminal enterprise

@TheFieldOf68 Coach is probably the smartest man college sports now!

@TheFieldOf68 Oh, isn't that special coming from a guy like Calipari.

@TheFieldOf68 Hilarious, when it's guys like him that pretty much forced the issue. Coach John "I'm only in it for the love of the game" Calipari.

@TheFieldOf68 The job jumper coaches like Calipari were mercenaries way before the players. If he has a problem with it being all about $, he should take a long look in the mirror.

@TheFieldOf68 Baby Mommas are expensive when daddy is not at home.
