Glad to see them finally trying to do their job.

Still to be seen is whether the new rules will withstand legal scrutiny alongside the existing challenge." Despite voices to the contrary here, I think Congress will act on this matter. The holdup, as I understand it, is the Big10+ and the SEC who like the current situation. Almost everyone else doesn't. The rest of the world has to out lobby them.

The holdup, as I understand it, is the Big10+ and the SEC who like the current situation. Almost everyone else doesn't. The rest of the world has to out lobby them. Agreed. And this, too: Quote: Sam Ehrlich, a Boise State assistant professor of legal studies in business and management who tracks litigation against the NCAA, said athletes very well could continue to petition courts for extended eligibility based on antitrust arguments, but appellate courts recently have delivered wins for the NCAA by overturning preliminary injunctions in several cases. Good to see the NCAA finally trying to define the vision for what this looks like and creating policy. No doubt there'll be legal challenges, but the incentives are starting to align across parties to get something done.

No more extensions or medical redshirts. That really changes the recruiting and player development landscape. If a kid turns 19 prior to stepping on campus, he's already eating into his eligibility time. The domino effect also leans out the portal numbers' wise. Which also makes acquiring talent through it more expensive. I'm unsure where that puts us moving forward; as HS recruiting and player development hasn't been a strength.

Haven't there been a court ruling that the time at JUCO doesn't count, and that the clock must start when the athlete first enrolls in a four-year college? Seems like there are lots of variables still at play here. The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."
