You don't hear a top coach blast the NCAA about player treatment very often.
Steve Fisher of SDSU did late last night. After SDSU beat NMSU in an overtime game which ended just after 11pm, PDT, Fisher disclosed the NCAA would not allow the NMSU team to stay overnight in a hotel. The team was "required" to leave immediately, which meant a 2:40am flight out of Spokane to Las Cruces. I would expect at least one connection and probably 2 so those players might just be getting back to school
When the video gets to the point where he calls out the NCAA and, in effect, where are the stuffed shirts and why are they not on that plane with the student athletes, he could have added "who generate the revenue to pay your salary."
It is quite refreshing to see a top coach challenge the NCAA on a topic such as this rather than Pitino whining about playing the Jaspers.

For those who have never had a son/daughter in post-season play, the NCAA makes the travel arrangements and literally pays extra to get the team out on the first plane/bus possible, upon elimination.
