Charles Barkley went off on the NCAA on Monday for proposing a new rule allowing student-athletes to bet on professional sports.
Last Wednesday, the NCAA Division I Administrative Committee announced it had adopted a proposal to allow both athletes and coaches to bet on pro sports. Before the rule can go into effect, the proposal must also be approved by Divisions II and III. Those divisions of the NCAA are expected to make their decisions by the end of October.
While talking to reporters at the Bruce, Barkley & Basketball Golf Classic, Barkley was ranting about the NCAA’s handling of name, image, and likeness (NIL) pay for athletes before deciding to bring up the controversial proposal:
But I saw something last week — which let me know that we need to do something about the NCAA — where they announced that they’re gonna let college players bet on pro sports. If that’s not the stupidest sh*t. You talk about putting your kids in the kitchen and turning the stove on. Like, you know, you can’t even — like, when I heard it, I said, this gotta be a joke, this gotta be a joke.
I mean, these are the people we got running college sports and we want to know why it’s a sh*t show. I mean, anybody that thinks that’s a good idea should have their head examined. Like, why would you even do that if you’re the NCAA? Like, are you serious right now? You think that’s a good idea Because we’ve already got issues going on with kids gambling now when they shouldn’t be gambling. I mean, this is just crazy!
