NCAA's moronic Wild West should have Texas A&M copy Alabama's latest signing

Is this even college basketball anymore?

The days of amateur athletes in college basketball are in danger, as the NCAA has once again allowed for a professional basketball player to play in college.

The latest is Charles Bediako at Alabama, who played at Alabama and went undrafted in the 2023 NBA Draft. After a few years in the G League, a temporary court order cleared his return, and he has two more years of eligibility with Alabama.

Most fans think this is complete foolishness. Why allow a pro athlete to play college ball again? If you're Bucky McMillan, do you dare go that same route with what the courts and the NCAA are allowing at this point? You can, and you can go for some pretty amazing athletes to turn into a Final Four contender.

Texas A&M should sign NBA players like Robert Williams and Quenton Jackson

Luke Evangelist from TexAgs had the perfect idea to get back Quenton Jackson, who's on the Indiana Pacers on a two-way contract.

No rules means that it's all fair game now. Bucky McMillan should call up Robert Williams III while he's at it. Williams III has been in the NBA for eight seasons now, but he played two years for Texas A&M. Worth a shot, right?

However, as Isaac Trotter from CBS Sports reports, former G League players like Thierry Darlan from Santa Clara, London Johnson from Louisville and Abdullah Ahmed of BYU were cleared by the NCAA because they were within their five-year window of graduating high school and had not signed on the dotted line with an NBA franchise.

This will continue to happen as long as the NCAA says it's OK, but most fans would agree that college basketball is in deep jeopardy right now.

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but either way, McMillan should take full advantage of this foolishness.
