Charles Barkley on NCAA: ‘A bunch of bumbling idiots’

Former Auburn Tigers legend Charles Barkley did not hold back when discussing the NCAA’s decision making as of late.

During an appearance on “The Next Round,” he was asked about the Charles Bediako situation at Alabama and him being denied eligibility, and he let it be known exactly what he thinks about the NCAA right now.

“I don’t even know how to answer the question to be honest with you because the NCAA is a bunch of bumbling idiots,” Barkley said. “I don’t know what their rules are…I don’t understand how this whole thing works.”

“I’m not sure what the NCAA is doing…I wish they would have some sort of rhyme or reason. I’m a big Nate Oats fan.”

Barkley went on to joke that Auburn should be awarded the victory in the game they lost to Alabama since he lost a bet to a friend — giving up $100 following the Crimson Tide’s victory in Neville Arena last weekend.

While Barkley bleeds blue and orange, clearly he believes in common sense as much as the next guy.
