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?



It's amazing how many people don't have a basic understanding of the issue.

They heard "NFL Players" returning and never went any deeper in understanding the issue.

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


Maybe.

The players after this season will have a much stronger case to come back to college based on state court rulings.

No but if you can’t fake tonsillitis for a 6th year you can’t complain about these players wanting a 5th.

There will be other rationalizations.

Can make more money in college. Can’t deny them that opportunity!

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.


All you need is a judge and a school who will say frick the rules.

I understand the issue… my point is nothing is preventing it from happen again. Sure, the rule would be more ‘fair’, but the door is still open for players to fight it.

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”


Eligibility is 5 years starting from enrollment. Always has been as far as I can remember. 1 redshirt and 4 years to play. Now it’s 5 years to play no redshirt

If you sit out a year, you lose that year

Neither should happen. Courts should not be getting involved to start with.

One does not justify the other.

Leadership is fine (in this case anyway).

1 school decided they didn't give a frick what the rest of the conference wanted and took it to court.

Ya see the thing with this ruling is that there is a legit case here to be made that these players were screwed over. A player that voluntarily forfeited their eligibility does not have that same leg to stand on.

The definitely are. This was first shown in the Chambliss case. If they wouldve put their foot down we wouldn't be in this position and you wouldn't be crying like you are.

Except it’s not even close to 1 school… hundreds of players are currently going through these same suits but big bad Kiffin is going to get the clicks.

Brother you’re naive as hell if you think players next yr won’t find some way to justify to a judge they weren’t treated fair by the system.

You can't be this stupid can you? Do you actually think eligibility lawsuits started 3 months ago?

Man, if the NCAA can't enforce it's 5 for 5 rule, I can promise you it's not because of this case. That would mean it just can't enforce the most basic eligibility rules at all.
