I like the 8th rating. Kind of non committal.Particularly after last year's fiasco.

Off topic but I just saw a video of Izzo ripping the NCAA for allowing G League players to come back to college and play. Does anyone know more about this ruling?

Most G-League players — outside of the Ignite program — are not earning big money (an average of $40,000/year). The NCAA considers that low of a salary as covering “actual and necessary expenses,” like living costs, travel, housing, etc. Players who were making above the “necessary expenses” have to pay back the difference.

With that logic, the NCAA determined that G-League players aren’t truly professionals in the way the old rule defined it. Under the new approach, G-League players could be deemed eligible for college basketball if they’re still within five year of their high school graduation

Off topic but they NEED to release that quarter zip that CWM wore at B12 Media Day.

In other words, these kids think that they can get paid more money playing in college.
