Based on the Pavia decision, shouldn't it be indefinite?
I know how to fix it. Just bring private equity in. I mean with all that money, everyone will be getting paid much better. And we all know - some from personal experience - how private equity involvement makes everything better.
I trust I don't need to add the sarcasm symbol.
Doesn't this decision also effectively kill off FCS, D2 and D3 football? Why would someone go to an NCAA run lower division if it is going to start your eligibility clock?
I do, I've never been one to collect things and not use them. I know they're supposed to be of poorer quality than standard vinyl, but I couldn't pass on this one.
Are Hokies allowed to have news this good?

That's awesome. Do you listen to your to picture disc?
Next step is for guys who did not pan out in the NFL to be allowed to come back and play in college again.
Great News!
Can he play on the OLine too?
Awesome. Welcome aboard
And a train station in the parking lot.
Not so fast, my friend.
One more step towards college football being a career.
That's great news, because he's sorely needed.
Cal just got hosed. A clear hold on an UNLV punt return, flag thrown, punt return goes for 50 yards, flag mysteriously disappears.
Cal now on 5th string QB due to injuries
Love it
Yeah, they updated the language to say "first" in the link you gave.
Yes, sorry, I oversimplified. I looked up the rules related to agents and it does delineate between NIL representation and then a lot of "going pro" - draft strategies, marketing yourself to teams, etc.
It's the representation related to getting drafted that precludes you playing any more. And apparently, players can interview and talk to agents, they just can't sign with them.
Position of need
This circus is just getting started. We have not yet imagined all the shenanigans that are in the works with all this free money getting thrown around.
Just a few short years ago some of us were getting shit on for pointing out this stuff was going to happen.
Remember, this is Name Image Likeness. This is supposed to be allowing guys to get some pittance for allowing video games to use their representation in football games and so they can make some beer money for doing a local used car lot commercial or schools to sell their jersey to adoring fans.
We were told it was not going to be the open 6 figure bidding for marginal to star players that it has become.
Wasn't tracking Cal was on 3rd string QB. Hoping they can find a way to win in second half. 14-13 right now UNLV.
Any low 3 star would be stupid not to go JUCO. Develop for a couple more years then start your eligibility "clock".
Yep...there is a vociferous group on Reddit /CFB that is 100% players should get to play until no one is willing to pay them anymore.
Can't wait.
Call me an Old Man Yelling at clouds, but I really enjoyed this: watching 18-22 year-olds play football in reasonably sized conferences that featured schools with similar characteristics and natural rivalries. And along the way, a percentage of them received educations that had real, long-term value.
The next obvious domino to fall here is that: academics. If JUCO players who couldn't qualify academically don't expend any eligibility anymore, then how is it fair to require other athletes to maintain a GPA or to go to school at all? So now, instead of a degree, the vast majority of players will be left with whatever remnants of NIL they have left. And I get to watch the scintillating Match-up between Rutgers and their 28 y/o QB and UCLA and their mid-30's DT.
I call that a shit trade.
Un. Fucking. Watchable.
College football just ain't fun anymore folks. I'm sorry, but I just can't do it. There are lots of reasons. It's not just nil. But there are so many different issues that are all driven by the same root cause. Greed. Unchecked greed. It has effectively made this sport unrecognizable in a span of a few short years.
I love this community. I'm not going away. I will continue to watch Hokies when it's convenient. Otherwise I'm completely checked out on cfb. It just isn't the same sport I fell in love with my freshman year.
