College basketball is in a state of flux, and many of the sport's elder statesmen aren't happy.

Izzo called the situation "embarrassing," arguing that constantly shifting rules undermine recruiting promises made to incoming freshmen. Sampson declared, "we’ve made a mockery of college basketball," lamenting the transactional nature of the sport. Hurley simply posted a bullseye emoji in agreement.
