I agree that the SEC should have rules very clearly defined and apply them equally, though. Relief is usually by breaking the contract or collective bargaining.

In a perfect SEC rule, you go to training camp, sign to a roster, whatever connects you to a paid relationship with the NFL or an NFL team and you no longer have eligibility.

Very cut and dry then.

Common sense says neither are eligible to play in college anymore.

This is not even remotely true.

Sometimes, what people want (or "believe" to be "true") and how the courts rule can be very different things.

Just because one places the word "truth" before their thoughts or opinions doesn't make it so.

There has never been an age limit on college football.

There really should be. College football really needs to start focusing on the age/experience angle when compared to the nfl instead of the money/professional angle. College players are paid now too so quit worry about the semantics about what is and isnt a professional and make the argument about the safety of 18-21 year olds going up against players in their mid 20s.

Facts or Heresay? Get a deposition of those in the know and then we will have sufficient evidence to vet. Presently, these are only sound bites from someone not identified.

It should be cut and dry for the entire NCAA that once you’ve officially declared for the draft… You have forfeited any remaining or potential eligibility. If you have an appeals process, that will take you past the declaration deadline, then that is a risk you’re taking.

But frankly, there should be a deadline for a player to make an appeal as well as a deadline for the ruling that works with the deadline to declare for the draft. But this would truly help benefit the player and we all know that has never been the mission of the NCAA.

I realize we now have the five for five rule which renders all of that irrelevant, but history has shown that this role will get shite on somehow and someway.

I disagree at this point. I like the new rule you have 5 consecutive years to play after high school or your 19th birthday (whichever comes 1st).

I don’t care if you stated for the Lakers. If you meet the above rule you can play

I also don’t care that you had the sniffles and a scratchy throat. You are done after the 5th year.

Of course it is. There's no legal requirement for rules to be "fair" in a private organization. A party can sue for breach of contract if the terms are violated, but that's not the same thing.

Look up Arbitrary and Capricious Behavior, then get back to me.

I would much rather have it start upon date of enrolling with declaring for professional sports(in any country or sport) as forfeiting. There are a lot of great stories of people who served in the military, and then came back to college to play football. I would say there could be a service exemption, but once you start exempting one group of people it opens up the possibility of other groups wanting to sue four equal exemptions.

Of course, all of this discussion would have never been necessary had the NCAA ruled consistently and by the book.
