Buckle Up - NCAA Eligibility Case

But doesn’t letting one individual play for say, 12 years, prevent a bunch of others from ever having the opportunity to play at all. I think this is a wretched idea.

Yes, and I agree.

I would be fine with having 4 years to play 4, except for 1 year of medical redshirt. Get in and then get out, for the younger guys coming up. Why 5 to play 4? Why have a redshirt year? By the way, the Ivies have don't allow redshirts, except medical, and don't allow graduates to play. What's the wrong with that? The way it used to be.

Players should be able to play as long as they are willing and able. The archaic mindset of people like Hoops is getting shown the door.

You need to loose the …Stiffer than a bull elk during fall rut attitude towards Player Rep…

It does you absolutely no good.
 
I would love for college football to become the new professional football league and absolutely decimate the NFL. Life couldn't get any better if that happened

Maybe EA was on to something when they added the Team Builder website to Madden? Not much stopping you from recreating college teams haha.

I am very curious to see what this does to the non-professional FBS (maybe not as impacted), FCS, and to some extent DII. If you're a player with aspirations of playing at the big time program but didn't make the cut, under the current system you'd play at an FCS or lower tier FBS. But if Juco nets you extra years, why not go into one of those programs to develop a little more and then hit the NCAA with four years of eligibility (IMO its only a matter of time until this goes away)?

So where does that player go after a couple years? Are they going to straight to the professional FBS program, or under eligibility requirements does that player end up going with a lower tier program because enough other "bubble" players are doing the same strategy? Maybe playing a couple years at Juco, a couple years at non-professional NCAA, then a couple years in a professional FBS team is the progression. And this doesn't even factor in transfer portal free agency with other players jockeying for spots.

Could be that we see Juco players go to FCS/lower tier FBS that are more developed than a typical high school kid. And this also pushes other talented high school kids to other lower tier programs. So maybe this, in combination of roster restrictions and free agency, results in even more talent being dispersed across college football.

NFL is by far the most popular sports league in the nation. And it’s not even close. NFL is in great shape.

I made a comment many years ago that sports would stop being part of colleges and go minor league like baseball or major club sports not representing individual schools at all. I am hearing others involved in college sports around the country say the same thing.

If college sports lose the colleges...they also lose the fan bases. Fan bases = the money.

That model cannot work.
