Hurley denounces 'cheapening' of college basketball as eligibility rules collide with court rulings

UConn coach Dan Hurley criticized the NCAA’s push to extend five years of eligibility, prompted by a Colorado court injunction that could allow some last-season graduates to return for a fifth year. He argued the move cheapens the sport and creates chaotic roster-building with early-August portal activity, stressing the need for the sport’s integrity and development over quick fixes. The NCAA plans to appeal to restore the status quo as the 2026-27 year approaches, amid ongoing debates over NIL and federal regulation.
