Rick Barnes said today he has an idea for the NCAA.
Clear all the fifth-year players looking for eligibility in the courts. Then take all the money that would've been spent on legal fees and give it to the Olympic sports that need it.

Not sure what “irreparable harm” the NCAA would suffer but whatever. This is the Mark Mitchell case
NCAA has appealed the Kentucky case under RAP (B) and (D), and particularly under (D), claims it will suffer irreparable injury if Class of 2022 athletes play sports.
Assigned to a single judge. Extraordinary circumstances" required to grant relief.

After a lot of thought and consideration, I’ve decided to shut down my recruitment and fully focus on my commitment to the University of Missouri. I’m grateful for every coach, program, and opportunity that has been part of this journey, and I’m excited for what’s ahead at Mizzou. MIZ! 🐯
NEWS: Four-Star QB Braylen Warren has shut down his recruitment and will sign with Missouri, he tells me for @Rivals
He’s led his team to a 9-0 start, totaling 2,332 yards and 28 TDs

The judge in Gunn's case extended his TRO to 5 p.m. Monday, which is close to when #Mizzou must submit its men's basketball roster. He won't be eligible for the Tigers unless he decides to go back to pursuing an injunction.
News: #Mizzou G CJ Gunn has canceled a hearing scheduled for today in his eligibility case.
The TRO that has made him eligible expires today. MU must declare its roster before its first game. There's now doubt over whether Gunn will be on it.

More from Drinkwitz:
"Our goal is to just make sure he's able to play and protect himself healthily as best he can. So that will be our guide. We'll be really attuned to how he's feeling, how he feels like he can best perform, and we'll rely on him and the doctors to make decisions based off of if and when he would be available for this year."
Eli Drinkwitz says that #Mizzou running back Ahmad Hardy practiced yesterday. He also said that they'll see how his body responds today and there's no timeline for his return.
