In the wake of the FBI investigation into alleged college basketball corruption and allegations last week that a head coach was caught talking about securing a $100,000 payment for a prized recruit, former NCAA players who are currently basketball analysts for ESPN have come out in favor of players boycotting the NCAA Tournament.
On Monday’s “Jalen & Jacoby” show on ESPN, Jalen Rose, the former Michigan Fab Five player, said players should boycott the tournament.
“In the climate of so many things that are changing, so many discussions that have now come to the forefront that have been closeted for so long — I wish NCAA players would exercise that power by boycotting the NCAA Tournament,” Rose said.
