In the wake of the federal investigation into college basketball recruiting, LeBron James called the NCAA a “corrupt” organization and said the NBA should develop its minor league system to give young ballplayers a plausible alternative.

The Cavs’ superstar mentions: “I don’t know if there’s any fixing the NCAA. I don’t think there is.”It’s what’s been going on for many, many, many, many years. I don’t know how you can fix it. I don’t see how you can fix it.”

“We have to figure that out, but kids getting paid is nothing new under the sun. You all seen ‘Blue Chips’? It’s a real movie, seriously. … The NCAA is corrupt, we know that. Sorry, it’s going to make headlines, but it’s corrupt.”

“We have to shore up our G League, continue to expand our G League,” LeBron added.
