- On Tuesday Arkansas coach John Calipari vowed, `If I become transactional — 'I'm going to pay you this to do this and that' — then I won't do this anymore.`
- Policy shifts include the 2021 softening of transfer guidelines, NIL allowances, and a $2.8 billion House settlement taking effect earlier this year.
- Calipari, the winningest active coach, said he wants to help 25 to 30 more families and be transformational, noting his son Brad Calipari is on Arkansas's staff.

- Calipari urged fixing rules, saying the NCAA stance on five years for four seasons should stand and 'We have to fix some of this stuff before we're out for our own children.
