Episode Details

Jordan Pope, a standout Texas guard who battled through a broken foot to score 12 points in the Sweet Sixteen, is part of a 25-player lawsuit challenging the NCAA’s new five-year eligibility rule — a rule that’s leaving some 2022 grads, like Pope, out in the cold. With NIL deals potentially worth half a million or more on the line, Pope and his teammates are fighting for one more shot at college hoops — even as Texas has already filled its roster with new transfers and freshmen, making a return to Austin unlikely. The Longhorns’ championship-caliber roster leaves little room for Pope’s return, even as his grit and performance earned him a legion of fans.
