I'm not blaming this on Lane. I'm just saying people like Lane are why we have to get it fixed. He's gonna do whatever he can get away with and has no concern with anything else.

Some professional athletes will take steroids if they don't test and have rules for failed tests. Others won't.

Some will always push the loopholes as far as they will go. Others won't. I'm telling you that things will get worse because of coaches like Lane so we need something so we've got what the NFL has so courts can't touch this.


I guess we have different beliefs, I think all coaches will push loopholes if it gives them a chance to win. I think some coaches just have more or less of a risk tolerance for it.

Which coach do you think wouldn't push a loophole?

Because he has eligibility and he never played. What in the ruling says this is a one and done?

You have 5 years to play ball. If you do anything professionally, you will not be allowed back in college and that applies to every kid in the 2023 recruiting class going forward. The kids in the 2022 class were unjustly not grandfathered in. I self identify as a fricking moron and I saw this coming when it was announced. The NCAA and conference leaders are now using the coaches as the scapegoat to cover up their frick ups and a lot of people are buying it. It's hilarious.

After the 2026 season they won't have an argument vs the 5 for 5 rule. The only reason that this whole thing exists is because the 2022 recruiting class wasn't grandfathered in.

Yes and no. This kind of sets up a 4 year player entering the draft, signing as an UDFA, getting cut, and returning to college for a 5th year

College sports eligibility has turned into If You Give A Mouse A Cookie

But once you enter the NFL draft you are not eligible to come back.

For now, but now subsequent players are going to point to the class of 2022 guys who did and be afforded the same treatment. They’ll file for a TRO, get it, and then we’ll be right back here

How though? The only reason the 2022 guys can do this is because they can say that they didn't know they had another year. The following classes won't be able to do that.

One local lawyer files a petition and gets a TRO. The NCAA’s bylaws are flimsy as hell and not based on any actual legal principles. Thats why judges have and will continue to tell them to frick off. Like why was 4 years the number prior? Why could freshman not play until the 70s? Why is 5 for 5 the rule now? It’s all arbitrary bullshite

Can anyone even define what a professional athlete is? These kids who were in NFL camps made more money playing college football. That’s how arse backwards everything has become. Unlimited eligibility is coming eventually whether people want to accept it or not. College football simply started generating far, far too much money for all of this not to be inevitable

The positive is that the Covid class and I believe 2021(?) received 5 years anyway so a lot of the people who would look at coming back are probably 6 or 7 years removed from football shape.

It isn't 4 programs, every program in the country has had some hand in this, at some point.

Incorrect, that's just as assumption you made. Your assumptions have more to do with you, than me.

I don't see these players making a big difference one way or the other.

There is your mistake. The college football you want is gone and has been gone for awhile. It is not coming back.

It is all pro now. They are getting paid, playing for 5-6 years, and have agents.

The kids you are getting back now have played professional ball. They have done this after the eligibility rule went through. They could've immediately contacted schools and said I'm coming back. They didn't. They went forward with their NFL teams. So I'm not seeing why that can't and won't be done again.

Wrong. I've never been one of those on here boohooing abotu every change. This seems a step too far. You like because that pet dog you have is beautiful and attacking everyone else. That dog will bite you at some point though. Be ready.
