Someone smarter than me answer this. What is preventing college athletes from having unlimited eligibility? How does eligibility running out not cause some form of antitrust/legal issue? Since the players are basically employees or profiting form endorsements how can they just tell them they’re done playing after 4 years? I think Pavias case opens a can of worms.

The people that think they’re smarter than you… aren’t.

You are exactly right, and this is the problem with antitrust analysis that essentially says that any NCAA limits on eligibility violate federal law.

Same same, no?

It's the universities still controlling. Just a new public face in front of them.

Same shiz, new day.


As long as the unis control things, they'll continue trying to push down the SAs and their interests. You can only put so much lipstick on the new pig...still the same old pig.

Why is it necessary to paint the universities as villains? Do you think Danny White and Randy Boyd are sitting in some ivory tower scheming how they can screw the SAs out of their due? I don't.

The university is more about the 40k students that pay to go there for an education, than for the few incredibly privileged athletes who get paid. And without the university, there is no team, no coach, and no venue. Changes are clearly happening, some good, some not, but meaningful change takes time.

Unlimited eligibility would be terrible. It would greatly reduce the number of kids that ever get to play.

So, he's saying Americans are xenophobes and "can't connect" 😅🤣 Wild accusation.

Meanwhile SGA, Giannis, Luka, etc are beloved. But OK. Have to remember that media guy is from the Travis Clay group of goofballs. All they do is rile up the angry gullible fratboi fanbase over sociopolitics (while claiming to be against bringing politics into sports 😅). They're truly clowning the LCDs of society. Can pretty easily ignore the tropers.

This will put Florida ahead of us now. How does a 7-5 Florida out recruit a 10-2 team going to the playoffs? I think we’ve only out recruited them one year yet we’ve gone 30-8 in the last 3 years…

How, in the HELL. With all we have going, can we not sign the upper crust on offense? Florida is literally one fart away from 5-7.

Wonder how many of those guys can read? Julius Peppers went through k-12, then UNC for 4 years before a lengthy NFL career and theres no way in Hell he reads at a 1st grade level. None. He could just barely speak English, with Ebonics mixed in and random complete words left out of sentences. He was a freak athlete though, who apparently was passed through school each year for his entire life because of his athletic ability. I watched him play basketball at Chapel Hill and he was a dominant forward...then watched him play DE for the Panthers and also be dominant. He was one of the first guys to sign a $100 million dollar contract in the NFL. I would bet my left nut that he is functionally illiterate though. Hopefully he was smart with all that money and wont ever have to worry about finding work etc.

Just talking about ignorance. . . I'd be curious to know how dumb Floyd Mayweather Jr really is.
