No doubt

80s, even 90s pretty great eras for college hoops compared to today

Loved gambling on college hoops, while in college, and heading to the sports bar to watch

We need some rules. This is some BS.
You sign an NBA contract.... You give up NCAA eligibility. WTF.

I've heard after Nnaji finishes his eligibilty at Baylor he's going back to play ball at Oak Hill Academy (high school in Virginia).
