🚨🏀 Tom Izzo did not hold back on the NCAA after they approved a new eligibility rule allowing former G League players to play college basketball 😳🔥.

The rule change means athletes who previously competed professionally can now return to college basketball if they meet academic requirements and haven’t signed a long-term pro contract. Izzo called the move “ridiculous” and “embarrassing,” saying it undermines high school seniors who have been grinding for scholarships and spots. 🎓💪

Is this progress for the game or a mistake by the NCAA? 🤔⬇️ Drop your thoughts below!
