Jon Rothstein sits down with NCAA Senior Vice President of Basketball, Dan Gavitt, for a wide-ranging conversation on the state — and future — of college basketball. Gavitt reflects on his roots in the game, lessons learned from his father, and his journey from the Big East to leading March Madness operations. They dig into how the changing landscape — including NIL, the transfer portal, and potential five-year eligibility — is reshaping the sport. Gavitt also addresses some of the biggest questions in the game today: tournament expansion, seeding debates, the role of Championship Week, and what expanded access could mean for mid-majors and the regular season. The conversation closes with insights on the NIT’s future, the return of the Final Four to Indianapolis, and Gavitt’s most memorable NCAA Tournament moments.

Jon Rothstein breaks down the biggest questions remaining with the NBA Draft withdrawal deadline looming, including concerns for Kentucky, St. John's, UCLA, and USC. Plus, a look at major “stay or go” decisions across the sport involving names like Milan Momcilovic, Koa Peat, Andrej Stojakovic, and more. Rothstein also discusses why international recruiting isn’t always the answer, reacts to Duke’s monster non-conference schedule, answers social media questions, and wraps with key news nuggets from around the sport — including Missouri vs. Saint Louis, St. John's vs. Syracuse, and Brad Underwood’s extension at Illinois.
