The rule was 5 to play 5. Trinidad is playing 6.

He did not go pro, but the players that did were not given a choice before the rule that directly effects them. The Trinidad situation breaks the new 5 for 5 rule. The medical waiver was certainly not intended for a common mild illness that lasts a few days. Even if his claim was valid, there are no more redshirts under the new rule. You will lose this argument every time, alter.

People freaking out on this need to take a step back for a second. This is a one time anomoly in which these kids were not grandfathered in (the 5 in 5 thing). So literally next year this is not even a thing.

People in here acting like this is gonna change college football forever lol.

You mean done before LSU was reminded of a preexisting bylaw? I'm sure Sankey will be satisfied with Lane's.....

So you play Clemson in less than 10 days and your coach is more focused on making a point to change league rules than he is winning against a P4 opponent?


And you gals play Louisville in less than 10 days and you’re more focused on everything LSU. You’re just a bunch of obsessed school girls.

I am not sure the conferences can declare players ineligible, I think the NCAA has to

I think their only recourse is fines

Of course not. He went pro and stayed pro.

Does this affect former NBA player Corey Stephenson who committed to Ole Miss today?
