North Carolina's Michael Malone Is Living New College Basketball Chaos

For most of the offseason, college basketball’s eligibility fight has been described in vague terms — “chaos,” “uncertainty,” a “mess.”. On Thursday, the NCAA gave it a hard number. According to an Associated Press report published by ClickOnDetroit, the association said there have been 79 lawsuits and 450 total plaintiffs across all sports tied to its new five-year, age-based eligibility model, with 234 of those plaintiffs in men’s basketball and 33 in women’s basketball.
