Why are LSU fans arguing against this when it was their coach that got Tom Mars involved and has been on record (well social media) saying Trinidad should get another year.

I think the NCAA will fight this up to the Supreme Court just on the principle that the MS State Courts are full of bullshite Ole Myth grads who are going to just rubber stamp this for football with no regard whatsoever for the fricking law. His case is weak based on the facts. If this does get to the State Supreme Court or the US Supreme Court, I could see it failing as an “enough is enough” backstop ruling.

The NCAA should fight this one to the end. At some point, the NFL is going to step on College Football if players and the fricking courts keep fricking around with eligibility rules. They are already very close to being a de facto pro league in competition with the NFL. Let’s remember that no pro league has gone head to head with the NFL and survived for 60 years.

All they have to do is change the draft age and rookie pay scale and college football has a major issue. Many of the top recruits will bypass College Football and go straight to the Draft to try and start the clock to bigger money earlier. We saw how much that ended up hurting College Basketball before the 1 and Done rule restored a tiny amount of sanity.

Worst case- major college teams will try get into an even bigger money war with the NFL, but they have the profitability, structure and anti-trust exemption that College Football doesn’t. And I’m sure most College teams would much rather see things trend back toward normalcy than go this direction.

This case seems like a good spot to draw a line in the sand.
