To all the guys who think and have said this will be a distraction. The master has turned it into a bonding point not a distraction.

Indeed. I should have known better— got duped. CTV was playing chess all along! Great strategy to rally the troops and get the pressure of being defending NC off their backs. Besides, the NCAA is easy to dislike! Alberto seems like a big lovable teddy bear!

Alberto Osuna Eligibility: How Tennessee Transfer Emerged As A Leader Amid NCAA Battle

Alberto Osuna arrived at Tennessee with hopes of playing one final season—but an NCAA eligibility battle has left his future in limbo.
www.baseballamerica.com


Seriously I need help, What am I missing here?

I hate to say this as a Tennessee fan, but did this young man already play 3 seasons of Power 5 college baseball and 2 seasons of JUCO as he basically got the 2020 season back due to COVID. So he played 4-1/2 seasons of college baseball and was getting another season at Tampa due to an NCAA exception. Don't get me wrong, I abhor the NCAA but this seems like a whole "Give an inch/Take a Mile" situation as Alberto is asking the NCAA to completely ignore all of his time in Juco.

What is the issue that I don't understand? Pavia has not really won a court case as he just obtained an injunction from a friendly court while his case against the NCAA continues. And from what I see, I do not think the Osuna case is all that similar to Pavia and he is not in the same court as Pavia as one court is not forced to offer a stay just because there's a "similar" case in another court. I see the basics is an anti-trust argument but the NCAA does not force any athlete to attend junior colleges.

I'm beginning to cringe when I see a Vol fan tagging Free Berto hashtags and accusing the NCAA of just fighting the case because Alberto wanted to go to Tennessee. The judge evidently felt the NCAA had a strong case. The NCAA has -and continues to contest, the Pavia case along with other cases.

I have not followed closely but a main argument is that someone loses NIL value in JC vs D1 ... the vandy QB wants 4 yrs of D1.

Yeah, but Juco is voluntary. Does Juco prohibit NIL?

I think Berto hurt his case by following the original rule to Tampa and then trying to jump back to Div 1.
I guess the only exception is if someone at the NCAA office told him he would be ok to do so and then was denied.

I will say this...I’m against unlimited eligibility and for JUCO not counting towards 5/4 however, Alberto or ‘Berto as the players call him seems like an incredible teammate and young man. He always interacts with the young kids and seems like he’s enjoying himself despite the extenuating circumstance…. He’s easy to pull for…..
