What is there to prevent players with eligibility left who get cut from practice squads next year from finding another coonass judge to grant them a TRO?

If a league can’t make rules then what good is a league?

You need federal intervention basically. That's the only way this is getting fixed.

5 for 5s last year. But in reality, the NCAA can’t pass any rules that players can’t sue on because they fricked this up so bad they now have absolutely zero and I mean fricking zero authority over anything.

Nothing. Kiffin is already planning his roster from the pros for next year. Wade too

Next year’s 4th year seniors will have a choice to make at the end of the season.

A choice that this year’s group of 4th year seniors were never given.

You can bet there are lawyers already looking at “5 for 5? My client only played 3 years in college and it’s discrimination to prevent them from coming back because they played 10 years ago”

Nothing. The NCAA is spineless.

The SEC would have a much stronger case enforcing their rule when players know what the rule is before leaving school.

They chose to go the league if they had eligibility left.

These players didn’t have a choice. They were told they were out of eligibility just to have the rule changed in June.

Some of you really need to learn how to read and stop listening to Finebaum.

Guy has played 4 years. Decides to declare for the draft. Doesn't get drafted.

Decides he wants to come back to the NFL.

"Well, they allowed it last year" and the sport gets fricked again.

I said in another thread but lawyers are the worst thing to happen to NCAA. The NCAA can't take a piss without the lawyers suing. If anyone has made out since NIL started it's lawyers.

How do you all not understand that this is strictly about high school class of 2022 kids that played 4 seasons in 4 years and then NCAA changed to 5 for 5 after they left? This isn't kids that declared early for the NFL with eligibility left.

You’re right. Players could use the Chambliss playbook, claim a scratchy throat from 4 years ago and sue for a 7th, 8th, or even 9th year of eligibility.

There is a place where the rules matter and a judge can't decide?

No, in this case the player forfeited his eligibility. What is happening now is players were OUT of eligibility and then the NCAA changed the rules.

That’s irrelevant… they have a choice now to abide by the rules or not… that won’t change next season.

I'm not sure what it would take outside of collective bargaining and antitrust rules
