Who can actually play college basketball in 2026-27?

Vince Wolfram is joined by sports law professor Sam C. Ehrlich, creator of the College Sports Litigation Tracker, to break down the rapidly changing NCAA eligibility landscape and why the answer seems to change almost every day.

From the NCAA's ongoing eligibility lawsuits and the Class of 2022 fight to new rules from the SEC, Big 12 and other conferences, Sam explains why conferences are beginning to take matters into their own hands — and whether those rules could survive their own legal challenges.

Vince and Sam also dive into the latest court decisions affecting college basketball players, the uncertainty surrounding athletes like Seth Trimble, the growing battle over former professional players returning to college, Bryson Warren's fascinating Texas A&M case, and whether any real resolution can arrive before the 2026-27 college basketball season begins.

Plus: why the NCAA keeps finding itself in antitrust litigation, how appeals can completely change a player's eligibility, whether “hometown judges” actually matter, and what Congress could ultimately do about the chaos.
