I will be working with DI leaders in the weeks ahead to protect college basketball from these misguided attempts to destroy this American institution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Christmas Eve, Baylor announced the signing of Nnaji, the 31st pick in the 2023 NBA draft. Although Nnaji played in the NBA summer league and was involved in the October 2024 trade that sent <a data-player-guid=\"12998df5-b137-fe32-8e90-f3844e8d8ee6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/player\/_\/id\/3136195\/karl-anthony-towns\">Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> to the <a data-clubhouse-guid=\"61719eb2-11c3-4e3d-90c3-0a1319fd850b\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/team\/_\/name\/ny\/new-york-knicks\">New York Knicks<\/a>, he has never played in an NBA game and spent the past five years in the FC Barcelona organization as part of the EuroLeague.<\/p>\n<p>In line with several other international players who never previously enrolled in college and never played in an NBA game, Nnaji was cleared by the NCAA last week.

The rules be the rules, so if you put your name in the [NBA draft], I don&#8217;t care if you&#8217;re from Russia and you stay in the draft, you can&#8217;t play college basketball,&#8221; Arkansas coach John Calipari <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mens-college-basketball\/story\/_\/id\/47456075\/john-calipari-critical-adding-pro-players-college-game\">said in a wide-ranging rant on the state of college basketball<\/a> Monday night. &#8220;&#8216;Well, that&#8217;s only for American kids.&#8217; What?

Until there&#8217;s a rule that says you can&#8217;t do it, it&#8217;s hard to blame anybody for doing what they&#8217;re doing.
