I hope it goes through. Going to be a heck of a legal battle.

Why even make the rule? People will sue, they will win.

Exactly, in a normal timeline a rule like this would've been reasonable in a sport didn't professionalize at the highest level.

It's still a matter of time until eligibility requirements, including that you must be enrolled at the school, are defeated in court.

I was hopeful this thread was about a new age limit for posting on Egriz. Bummer,

 

[MikeyGriz]

You mean like no one under 45 can post?

What is this going to mean for Solo? Does his waiver exempt him?

Generally agree, maybe put a dent in the "forever" player bouncing along in the portal, start/restart. Agree but since so much money is now on board in collegiate sports...the lawyers follow!

Sounds like players that already have their waivers approved are grandfathered in.

Age based. What's the new age, 30? The NCAA is a joke, all style and no substance. I have one reaction whenever I hear 'NCAA': https://tenor.com/search/spit-gross-gifs
Take your pick.

Don’t think I agree with the way the actual age part is written. 5 years, yes. Hard and fast, yes.

Well, this could put an end to my dream of playing slot receiver for the Griz. Some say I've lost a step from my prime, but great route runner, great hands, not afraid to take a hit, like having a coach on the field, leader in the locker room, nose like a diamond, and yet the phone never rang. Now this? Where do I go from here? Aspiring football player is all I've ever been.

I suggest taking a second to actually research prior to your rant.

And we have the first P4 soccer program already de-committing all but one of their 2027 players. Wait until basketball and football start cutting 2027s

This throws a whole different wrench into recruiting strategy.

The first year will be the bloodbath for high school kids and then it should improve.

Can you kindly ELI5 why a soccer team decommitted a bunch of 2027s and it will be a bloodbath the first year for HS kids? My public education is making me reckon that a bunch of olds being ineligible would make room for HS kids, but I know you're saying the opposite. TIA.

With the new 5 to play 5 there will be less scholarships or roster spaces available but those kids will begin to fall off a year later. I would also assume that this frees up schools to re-recruit 27 kids to replace other 27 kids.
