@NoahLack @DraftExpress Exactly l!!

@DraftExpress Yes? And that's a good thing. How about giving more young American athletes a chance at playing college sports again?

The NCAA's new (very poorly timed) rule sends a clear message: international players are no longer welcome in the college game. ACB, France, Italy, Australian NBL and anyone who's ever played for a EuroLeague team, even for next to nothing, are suddenly permanently ineligible?

Man they just need to pass this and be done, man it’s gonna be so many guys that’s been in school forever, and no damn degree. This rule also helps our players in the states, no more bringing over 23 year old pros from overseas, now their time is cut and G leauge guys trying to take spots.

I think we all anticipate litigation on this issue once voted on though, let’s be honest here, the NCAA’s delay in today’s vote is indeed with strategic purpose. I’ve heard from several college athletes whose eligibility expired in 2026 - they AND COACHES are inquiring about the legitimacy of the rule assuming it passes. Coaches have stressed to me that they think it’s fundamentally unfair that those college athletes - the 2026ers - and into those college athletes are negatively impacted by this anticipated vote while others have already benefited and future college athletes will also benefit from 5/5 eligibility.

@GarthGlissman @SEC There’s nothing wrong with this, when American players go overseas , I think you can only have two on a team if I’m correct.

Jonathan: Thanks for the dialogue. First, I would like to invite you to next season’s @SEC Tournament in Nashville. We will show you good Southern hospitality as you watch 30+ future NBA players. Re your question: My view is rooted in the NCAA’s 2026-27 Athletics Eligibility Certification Process Guidelines. (These are not new rules per se, but provide updated interpretive guidance.) • Page 1 references “actual and necessary expenses,” a longstanding element of NCAA eligibility analysis. • Page 2 identifies the factors NCAA staff must use to determine the eligibility of an international player with prior pro experience. Specifically, it states “[NCAA] staff should consider the totality of a [prospect’s] experience with a professional team (e.g., length of time, quality of league, educational nexus) to determine if a withholding condition or eligibility not reinstated is appropriate.” Collectively, (1) the “actual and necessary expenses” analysis, and (2) factors such as “length of time, quality of league, and educational nexus,” inform my view that the NCAA’s approach generally is not intended to turn away 18, 19, and even 20 year old international players. Generally, the international players who will have more difficulty satisfying this multi-factor analysis are older players who (1) played multiple seasons in a high level professional league (and likely were compensated accordingly) and (2) are multiple years removed from being enrolled in school. I believe international players will continue to be an important part of college basketball. In light of the NCAA’s updated guidance, international players would be well-served to enroll earlier in their developmental process and, ideally, embrace the full American college experience and ultimately earn their degree.

Congratulations @AidenCrane9 @TeamFVV

@Vlad_Jara @Chrisxy24 Yeah that’s not Tony

@Chrisxy24 Ese no es Tony Tucker. El que pelea con Tyson en el video es James "Quick" Tillis.

Mike Tyson was just 21 years old when he went 12 hard rounds with the undefeated Tony Tucker to become the youngest undisputed heavyweight champion ever 🥊 Tyson showed he was more than just knockout power—elite head movement, pressure, ring IQ, and nonstop aggression. One of the most complete performances of his prime. 👑

@Westershea @JonRothstein They changed it to one free transfer

@JonRothstein This is nice and all, but what really needs to be fixed is the unlimited free transfer rules. These four year, four different school players are killing the game. Everyone chasing the next bag. No loyalty. It's a program killer.

The NCAA has released a statement on eligibility.

But they only get 1 free transfer, 2nd transfer you gotta sit, so I think it makes guys really pick a school where they can see themselves at for at least 3-4 years then bounce for that 5th year. I think it helps high school more than the current model. If I’m understanding the rule correctly, your clock starts at 19 or upon your hs graduation so that cuts all the 23 and 24 yr old freshman time to like 1 year.

The NCAA moving toward 5 years of eligibility in 5 years would be one of the most important business changes in college sports. Not because it’s cleaner, but because it changes how schools value, recruit, develop, and pay athletes. Here’s what it impacts:⬇️

@TheUnitedSpot__ Bastard

The father of this innocent little girl, Jacob Strand, who stood in that courtroom and spoke of missing her spirit, her laugh, and the unbearable guilt of not being there to protect her…should have the solemn, irrevocable right to end this monster’s life with his own hands if the jury returns a death sentence. No taxpayer-funded appeals dragging on for decades. No sterile injection in some hidden chamber years from now. Just raw, immediate justice delivered by the man whose world was shattered when Tanner Horner snatched Athena from her driveway, ignored her screams for her “momma,” and strangled the life out of her. A father’s grief demands more than bureaucratic procedure. It demands the ancient, righteous authority to look into the eyes of the evil that took his child and deliver the final blow himself. Anything less dishonors Athena’s memory and mocks the very meaning of justice. End it. Now. For her. For every parent who lies awake knowing such demons walk among us.

@ExxAlerts Somebody need to “Negan” his ass

ALERT: Jury broke down in tears today while footage of Tanner Horner killing 7-year-old Athena Strand was played. They were also shown footage of Horner telling his boss that he had “thrown up” in the truck, requesting the same vehicle the next day. The footage of the abduction reportedly showed Horner dropping off a package, a Barbie Christmas gift. Horner allegedly picked up Athena and placed her in the back of the FedEx truck and closed the door. He is then seen whispering something to her as she is moved from the back of the truck to the front. Athena then asks, “Are you a kidnapper?” Horner told her to sit down and not scream, or he would hurt her. Seeing this caused some of her family members to leave the courtroom. Horner then covered the camera so only audio could be heard. After trying to make conversation about how old Athena was, where she goes to school, Horner says, “You're really pretty. You know that?” Horner then asked Athena to take off her shirt. She said “No” and asked for her mom. Athena was then heard crying, screaming, and loud banging was coming from the back of the truck, according to local reports. Athena's parents, Jacob Strand and Maitlyn Gandy, have both testified in the trial, but they did not sit in the courtroom while the video was played. After cleaning the back of the truck with some kind of spray and a roll of paper towels, Horner was heard on the phone, claiming he had eaten bad food and gotten sick, and requesting the same FedEx truck the next day.

@AidenCrane9 @parkview_boys @TeamFVV @WPUBasketball Congratulations!!!

Thank you to Coach Rufus and Coach Henry for having me down at William Penn University and offering me an opportunity to play at the next level!

@ranman091 @JustDrey @JohnnieBaxley3 I totally agree with that

@Joedanforth2 @JustDrey @JohnnieBaxley3 Yes but coaches staff’s change every year. Assistants get promoted to hc every year and position coaches are constantly changing. If you go to school x to play for a Db coach that recruited you and he leaves after one year and the next coach brings in his dbs you kinda have to go

The problem isn't athletes being paid; everyone agrees that this is a good thing. The problem is unlimited free agency on an annual basis with no enforceable rules for the entire process.
