Can we talk about Chuck crushing the NCAA and throwing shade at Willie Wade last night?

Man, let me tell you something. The NCAA, they’re like the Barney Fife of the world. They do an awful job of administrating. We got guys on tape, paying players, three years ago; they ain’t saying nothing about.” Smith, jokingly (I think), tried to say COVID played a role in the NCAA’s delayed response to the FBI’s findings. “It has nothing to do with COVID,” Barkley continued. “The NCAA, they are so far behind the times, they’re so reactive. It’s time to get their crap together. They say they want to stop cheating, they want to make everything equal with their women because that was a travesty and a disgrace. It’s time for us, because we’re in the business–we’re in bed with the NCAA. It’s time for us–you know, we do a lot of the social stuff in the NBA–it’s time for us guys and coaches to say, y’all gotta do a better job.” Barkley added new Indiana coach Mike Woodson, a first-time coach in the NCAA, doesn’t need the NCAA rulebook. “He needs better players,” said Barkley.
