Gene Stallings believes the NCAA is to blame for student-athletes getting in trouble late at night.
We’ve all heard the saying that nothing good happens after midnight, and Stallings said the same thing on ESPN 106.7 in Auburn on Friday: “Nothing good happens at 2:30 or three o’clock in the morning. We can thank the NCAA for that. There was a time when we had athletic dorms. Players lived at the dorms, we had curfews, they were in at a certain time — and now we can’t have that.”
The NCAA eliminated athletic dorms in 1996.
“I feel like it was a big mistake when the NCAA took athletic dorms away,” Stallings said.
