## Resource

The NCAA’s new “five-for-five” eligibility rule aims to simplify college basketball by eliminating redshirt waivers—but Purdue coach Matt Painter blasts it as a Band-Aid that ignores the real problem: the chaotic transfer portal. Painter warns that giving athletes more flexibility to move schools will only worsen instability, comparing it to every pro athlete being a free agent yearly. He argues the NCAA should tackle player movement first, not eligibility windows, since programs like Purdue have thrived with redshirt protections. This rule may pass, but Painter insists it won’t fix what’s truly broken in college hoops. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
