Kentucky one of a number of programs showing interest in Trentyn Flowers, along with Michigan, Kansas, Florida, BYU, Indiana, Texas Tech, USC, and Washington. Flowers has played 8 games the last two seasons in the NBA, most recently 3 weeks ago for the Bulls when he scored 4 points and added 1 rebound in 4 minutes.

This all circles back to the NCAA never putting clear structures in place. It's honestly kind of amazing how thoroughly they dropped (and continue to drop) the ball on this stuff.

Not sure if this is serious.

Assuming this is, it became clear NIL was coming and they were going to get destroyed in court. They needed to put a structure in place back in 2019 and here we are years later with no one knowing the rules. Between the current NCAA Tournament contract and NIL, I'm not sure any sports administrator has failed more completely than Mark Emmert did.
