00:00And it was breaking news right before we came on air.

00:03And that was the president of the NCAA, Charlie Baker,

00:06finally issued some statement when it comes down to eligibility

00:09because we have no idea what's going on.

00:12And he said, the NCAA will not grant eligibility to prospective

00:16on returning student athletes who have already signed an NBA contract

00:22or a two-way contract.

00:24So what does that mean?

00:26James Nagy, fine.

00:28Guys that play in overtime elite, fine.

00:31Guys that get drafted and go to Europe, particularly second-round picks, is fine.

00:38It's going to open up Pandora's box.

00:40But I will say this.

00:42I do believe players that sign now, like Nagy, should not be eligible now

00:48but should have to sit out and come back in next year.

00:52It's just a slippery slope.

00:54And I agree with people like Tom Rizzo.

00:56I don't like it at all.
