Lane Kiffin is never afraid to speak his mind, and he did so once again on his X account this week with a pointed message directed at the NCAA.
With college basketball season coming to a close, schools around the country are celebrating Senior Night, however most of them are not doing it at the same school they started at.
It was shared in fact that when it comes to high-major teams in power conferences, only 22 players across the nation were with the same school for four years, and in the SEC that number was just one.
Kiffin argued that the system is essentially a joke with a sarcastic reply “praising” the association for what has happened to college sports over the years.
“What a great system we have now, [NCAA],” Kiffin wrote.
It is indeed a damning look into what college sports — especially in power five basketball — have become as teams build through the portal rather than the high school ranks.
