Suppose a player drafted year before last is cut, has only used 4 years, and sues?

After all, the class right before him got 5 years! It’s not fair that he should be arbitrarily denied the right to work to, since other players were given 5 years.

How does a judge consistently accept the LSU-cooked-up claims from this batch of players while denying a player from the draft class a year before a 5th year to make college money?

That player would've either had 5 years available due to Covid or left early.

But he didn’t get the 5th year at all, while the class after him did!

No fair, your honor, no fair! Make them change their rule!

And it’s already been established that the COVID year doesn’t count, don’t try that bullshite sophistry.

Reading comprehension is your friend. He did get an extra year, he chose not to use it. A far cry from someone who was told he only had 4 years, and then after the draft was told he actually should’ve had 5.

A line has to be drawn somewhere. There are some logically places you could draw that line: (1) any player that did not withdraw from the draft, (2) any player that made an NFL 53-man roster. Then there are arbitrary places you can draw that line (i.e., any player that attended an NFL training camp, but not rookie mini-training camp). It's the arbitrary line that is ultimately the problem.

It isn't about everyone playing 5 years, it's about the option to play 5 years.

If you leave early and waive additional eligibility, that's on you.

It should be option 1. And there should be no TROs at all. Covid still fricking us years later
