Let him stay. Let any of them stay that want to. There is not college anymore for these guys. They can exercise free agency any time they want. Who cares? Let them play. Unlimited eligibility.

he is not back in court this is still the same lawsuit as the one that let him play in 2025

Given that the NCAA is now giving players who have played for years in the European basketball league 4 years of eligibility I don't see how they can expect to win this lawsuit

We just need to drop the college part, apparently.

Relatedly, Vandy landed the #1 QB in the nation, Jared Curtis, this past recruiting cycle. Curtis was ranked as the #1 overall recruit per 247 composite. Part of the allure to come to Vandy was to have a shot at playing Day 1 instead of redshirting. That's part of the motivation for him flipping to Vandy from UGA. So I think that also indicates that Pavia will be moving on from Vandy no matter what.


Curtis already lives in Nashville, all his friends and hoes are there. And his family.

Kirby could be using Vandy like his own personal juco, letting kids develop and shine vs SEC competition on someone else's dime, then tamper him into the portal later when he's ready to play to UGA's standards. Kirby takes who he wants from the lesser teams like Vandy. Clark Lea doesn't like it, but Lea knows the deal. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

He is a man that knows he cannot play in the NFL and also knows with his pea brain the real world will eat his lunch so stay in school and get his NIL, what a POS.

They should mandate the players to be enrolled in full time class load and not guarantee them a starting spot.

I thought it was this way. Apparently there’s some guys not even going to classes. Total cluster F.

How long before a 30 something invokes Right to Work law & sues for the opportunity to play college sports for pay?
Is it legal to limit a persons earning potential to 4-5 years?


I posted something similar to this nearly a year ago. These guys are now professional athletes, i.e. they are paid to play.

Let's take a guy like Pavia who is a VERY good college FB player but not good enough for the NFL or even the CFL. There are teams willing to pay him half a mil a year to play CFB. What's to keep him from playing 7,8, even 10 years? These guys transfer mid year, often more than once. How many credits are they taking with them? Are the credits even accepted or transferrable to their new landing spot?

What if they don't go to class? Why should they? I guess CFB will survive but we all need to recognize it for what it is and that's the equivalent of minor league baseball.
