Lawyer in Pavia’s eligibility lawsuit vs NCAA cites NBA draft pick’s return to College
Posted by ragincajun03 on 12/28/25 at 9:46 am

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A lawyer for Heisman Trophy runner-up Diego Pavia and 26 other football players has cited the NCAA’s decision to allow an NBA draft pick to return to college basketball as a reason that a federal judge should let his clients play in 2026 and 2027.
Although Pavia plans to enter the NFL draft, he is continuing the lawsuit — which challenges an NCAA rule that counts seasons spent at junior colleges against players’ eligibility for Division I football — to help other former junior college players.
On Wednesday, Baylor announced that 7-foot center James Nnaji had joined the Bears after four seasons playing professionally in Europe, a span that included Nnaji being drafted No. 31 overall by the Detroit Pistons. His rights were traded to Charlotte and later the New York Knicks.
Attorney Ryan Downton seized on that news in a memorandum he filed Friday in a Tennessee federal court to support his antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA. He’s asking U.S. District Judge William L. Campbell to block the NCAA from enforcing its eligibility rules.
quote:
Pavia initially sued the NCAA in November 2024 and won a preliminary injunction weeks later that allowed him to play this season. He led Vanderbilt to a No. 13 ranking in the AP poll and the best season in program history. The Commodores will play Iowa in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Dec. 31.
The lawsuit has since added 26 other plaintiffs, including Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar.
NCAA rules give athletes five years to play four seasons under an eligibility clock that starts at any “collegiate institution” regardless of whether that school is an NCAA member.
Pavia started playing at New Mexico Military Institute in 2020; the NCAA did not count that season toward eligibility because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He led the junior college to the 2021 national championship, then played at New Mexico State in 2022 and 2023 before transferring to Vanderbilt for 2024, making this season his sixth in college football but only his fourth at the Division I level.

This is some dumb arse shite.
Go try out for the NFL or CFL, then move on with your life.

I thought Reagan was “A new day in America”?
Which basically was the same thing, though. That’s why he’s the OG MAGA President.

They gave SMU the death penalty yet UGA bought Herschel and Auburn bought Cam and crickets. Lawrence Phillips was illiterate yet he was allowed into a NCAA member institution. UNC had fake majors just for athletes and nothing. The NCAA is over as a real entity. It ain’t coming back.
SMU got the death penalty for doing what Texas, OU, etc were doing. Yet Pedo State got a much lesser penalty for covering up child rape within their football program.

Yep, but the athlete typically had to sit a season, unless the program they left granted a waiver.
Now it’s non-stop, no-sit transferring.

You people voted for mass deportations. This is one of the consequences.
Chicken’s hamsters were here illegally and got deported. Now he’s having to pay wages for legal U.S. hamsters. Those don’t come cheap.

True, though they probably wouldn't have to worry about that.
It's the Miss States and Rutgers of the college football world that would never agree to such a thing.

As a graduate and fan of a G6 program, I honestly really don't give a shite anymore when it comes to football. Lawyers, both the ones suing the NCAA and the Get Gordon types buying players away from G6s to their favorite teams have fricked it all up.
At this point, Cajuns should go back to playing 2 money games a season, 3 if possible, do the bare minimum in football and divert the extra money game revenues to baseball. I know baseball still has the NIL and no-sit portal transfer thing, but at least then we can hope to retain some of our core best players from season to season.
Making these "student" athletes have to at least go back to sitting a season to transfer would help, and if they don't like it, then they should be told to go form their own little minor league or sit out and train until they're draft eligible or can tryout for an NFL team. But that won't happen, because again, lawyers. They'll sue and win.

I don't think the Biden economy ever reached 4.3% or anywhere close, even post Covid "recovery" where it should have been easier to attain.
This shows 7% in Q2 of 2021, if it’s comparing the same stat as the article.

However, yeah…coming out of the government forced COVID shutdowns, there was nowhere to go but up. And rapidly.

Got a 2018 F150 STX I bought in 2019 from CarMax for about $27k. It had about 25k miles on it at the time. It now has a little over 140k, and knock on wood, it’s been a good vehicle.
Had to bring it into the service department at my local Ford dealership about 18 months ago for them to change the stick for the windshield wipers, as they wouldn’t shut off. Before the service guy called to give me the price on replacement, I had received two phone calls and two emails from their used department wanting to buy it and “Let us put you in a new truck!”.
F—- that. Fix what I brought it in for, because I’m perfectly happy right now with no car note. :lol:

US economy expands at a surprisingly strong 4.3% annual rate in the third quarter

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy expanded at a surprisingly strong 4.3% annual rate in the third quarter, the most rapid expansion in two years, as consumer and government spending, as well as exports, all grew.
U.S. gross domestic product from July through September — the economy’s total output of goods and services — rose from its 3.8% growth rate in the April-June quarter, the Commerce Department said Tuesday in a report delayed by the government shutdown. Analysts surveyed by the data firm FactSet forecast growth of 3% in the period.
However, inflation remains higher than the Federal Reserve would like. The Fed’s favored inflation gauge — called the personal consumption expenditures index, or PCE — climbed to a 2.8% annual pace last quarter, up from 2.1% in the second quarter.
Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core PCE inflation was 2.9%, up from 2.6% in the April-June quarter.
Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70% of U.S. economic activity, rose to a 3.5% annual pace last quarter, up from 2.5% in the April-June period.
Consumption and investment by the government grew by 2.2% in the quarter after contracting 0.1% in the second quarter. The third quarter figure was boosted by increased expenditures at the state and local levels and federal government defense spending.
