Why is it so hard for your dumba55 to understand this. The players felt they were cheated out of a year of eligibility. THey sued the NCAA to gain that year back. THEY WON!. So in the eyes of the courts they are eligible. SOOOO for SEC to say well we dont recognize the courts ruling is ILLEGAL because it supercedes the NCAA AND SEC. They would have an argument if they had applied that rule across the board evenly BUT THEY HAVENT. Thats the issue doofus. Not mention there have been many TROs that have gone against the SEC rules and they have respected the TROs. Why is this different????

You will get all kinds of answers that will dance around and move the goalposts more than Sankey did yesterday on the stand.

If you are getting paid to play a game, you are a professional. Any level headed judge can see that. NCAA should let this go and stick to their you get 5 years to play after high school, no more, and go with that from now on.
If the NCAA simply adopted a “5 years to play 5 years” rule starting from high school graduation, it would eliminate most of these concerns.
The NCAA and SEC seem worried about a scenario where someone spends years as a professional and then comes back to college because a school offers a more lucrative deal. But that’s a pretty narrow issue and one that could be addressed with a clear eligibility window.
The reality is that many of today’s athletes already operate as professionals. They have agents, negotiate compensation, sign NIL deals worth millions, and make decisions based on market opportunities. The NCAA and SEC know that. Their problem isn’t determining whether these athletes are professionals. Their problem is figuring out where to draw the line and doing so consistently. Right now, they can’t seem to define that line, which is exactly what was exposed during the hearing.
