During his NCAA Tournament media time this week, John Calipari suggested putting an age limit of 25 on college basketball players.
“25, 26, 27, beards, kids in the stands, on their second wife. Yeah, this is a little bit different,” Calipari replied when if things are different in college basketball these days. “So, then you say ‘why are they staying in school for so long?’ For the money. I don’t blame them. I do not blame them. It’s our fault that we have nothing that prohibits age. Make it 25.”
