The NCAA is a sham. Everyone knew NIL was coming down the pipeline and that as the governing body new rules from the NCAA seemed likely. Instead, what the NCAA did was basically nothing. Instead, the NCAA put their head in the sand and just let the stampede run over them and hope for the best. During football season there were some deals that got a little bit out of hand but honestly I don’t think it went too crazy. The transfer portal in basketball has been a whole other animal entirely.
This all come home this past week as the highly recruited transfer Nijel Pack made his ultimate decision but sadly for us he didn’t choose the Boilermakers.
