Federal Judge: Division II years don't count toward Division I eligibility

[phoenix4nu]

"Judge William Conley granted the injunction based on his belief that the NCAA’s rules for granting waivers should be broader because of the name, image and likeness money on the line for college athletes. Fourqurean testified that he could make 'hundreds of thousands of dollars' in NIL sponsorship this season after making a total of $50,000 the past two years at Wisconsin."

The NCAA filed an appeal of the decision on Friday.

I think players that played for $#!++y coaches at a DI school should also get to keep their eligibility for all those lost years as well. Or at least get compensated for lost earnings potential.

30 year olds playing college.

Who is he to judge?

Making “semi-pro” football at the college level.

JFC…

Go JUCO 3 years then DII for 3 years then be ready for 4+ years of D1.

The Scott Frost rule.

This is getting ridiculous. Just erase all eligibility limits besides being enrolled at the school.

 

[jteten]

Just nuts. Until appropriate guard rails are put in place, just let em play for as long as a school wants to pay dudes to be there. Hell, let guys that washed out in the nfl just re-enroll. F it. Common sense is being skewed and rewritten more every day. We live in a post fact world, so why stop at anything?

Permanent eligibility is 100% coming.

Former Nebraska players could fill several rosters.

We’ll be in this Wild West era of NIL for at least 2-3 more years while we see all the ridiculous kind of guard rails need to be put in.
