Why did the NCAA change eligibility rules in June?

They could have changed them in February and included class of 2022 or changed them in November and excluded class of 2022. Either way, players would have known their real options in time to make informed decisions.
Instead they changed them in June and now we have this shite show

Thought it was a judge ruling not the NCAA?

Because the NCAA is a lost puppy in all of this. They are not equipped to manage hundreds of schools in multiple sports.

The decision to only exclude the 2022 class from the 5 for 5 rule is an all time dumbfrick decision. All of this could have been avoided. Its not fair to the current players, the 2022 players, the coaches or the fans. This is all so dumb.

The crazy thing is if they wanted to exclude them, all they had to do was wait 4 months when their 5th year would have already ended. Still gives class of 2023 enough time to decide if they want the extra year. But no, can’t do anything the easy way.

Exactly. It really is the NCAA’s fault.
How could they not see this issue coming by announcing the new rule in June when 2022 players already entered the draft after thinking they were out of eligibility.

Judges are making decisions on this after players realized the ncaa screwed them

The NCAA didn't screw them.
You change a rule and it becomes effective from that date. The previous decisions were already made. It has to be cut off at some point. They declared it started with the next class.
The judge is the dumbass.
