The door was already opened by the NCAA.

Texas had a OL return who spent time in NFL minicamps.

I don't think A&M goes that route. We wouldn't touch Cam Coleman because his cost would upset our NIL apple cart. We spent appropriate $ getting Isaiah Horton instead.

I don't see Elko going the NFL route and wouldn't be surprised if the SEC rules on that eventually. Kinda like the Big 12 with Sorsby.

I’m sorry, did you say NFL players with some eligibility can now play ball in college? But betting is where we draw the line right LSU?

Have you been under a rock? La court issued a TRO that a handful of players that were waived by the NFL teams in preseason can play this year.

Of course Kiffin signed 2 or 3 so far.

It was Jimbo who opened his mouth and admitted he paid the recruits. What happened after that ?

I don't agree. I think some players are going to "test their worth" in the NFL market and push it at the end of their 3rd or 4th year


This ruling seems like it will encourage players to leave college for the pro's as soon as they can knowing they have a fallback.

That makes no sense. A&M had less students, less resources than LSU for years.

In 1965, A&M still had only 8,000 students, compared to 16,000 for LSU.

No it wasn't. It was Saban that accused Jimbo.

did y'all just realize you have more money than everyone else? Why haven't y'all be using it for the past 50 years?

Hint - aTm's problem isnt and never has been money. Your uniforms are awful, fans are weird, traditions are creepy, and random 18yr old black kids don't want to hang out in college station. Pretty simple stuff.

Just start over.

The Louisiana TRO is a one time thing for 22 players. The 5 for 5 rule should have had a blanket waiver for all 2022 athletes just like the Covid year for every player.


THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where I have heard this before?

NIL is just so some hungry players can by food...

No, transfers won't create a never ending free agency...

This is just a one off court case and surely won't be used as precedent moving forward....

the door was opened in college basketball last year with former pros being declared eligible, many of whom played last season. In football, Texas had a former NFL player Cole Hutson get a TRO to play this year 2 months ago based on the same 5 for 5 rule. He, too, had already played 4 full seasons of college football and had been signed to 2 different NFL teams. Yet, for whatever reason, this most recent ruling is getting the lion's share of the attention right now.

I think its more complex than that. Historically, there have been donor factions that didn't agree on coaches, donating, etc.

Our Board and AD have worked to unify those factions. Much like TAF operates today.

So, you see unity now from donors, through the AD and to each sport... including football.

We have also had some really poor ADs over the years.

The difference is these players were forced to leave by the NCAA due to expired eligibility then eligibility rules changed

Your example is a player deliberately forgoing a year of NCAA eligibility for the NFL. Big difference


Are you replying to the wrong person? I didn’t give any examples, and understand how this situation is different from allowing all NFL players to return to college football, or any other iteration. My point is that eventually some lawyer in some state, acting on behalf of some player, will win an injunction to allow something we all think is impossible right now. I’m for the current injunction and understand why it was decided.
