Bediako situation, legal question

We’re a little bit down the slippery slope where the ncaa could be deemed as denying economic opportunity with someone with a legal right to it.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the “four years of eligibility” thing goes by the wayside and the rule becomes you can play as long as you’re a student. Someone who is a great college player without good pro prospects can stay in school, make a couple mil a year, get two masters degrees and a PhD and play college basketball for 10 straight years

Eventually someone will argue why a college athlete needs to be a college student.

What qualifies you as a student? The Miami QB Carson Beck hasn't taken a college course in over two years.
 
I think we’re getting a window into who was prob willing to drop bags before nil

I don’t follow this stuff closely and maybe it’s been discussed but can a player jump from one school to another midseason
 
This just seems bad for team chemistry and coach-player relationship, like “hey I know you’ve been busting your ass all season to earn your spot, but this former pro is going to join the team mid season and take your minutes”

Coach Hurley’s take on what’s going on in the game today when it comes to eligibility. He thinks it’s as ridiculous as everyone else.

“We are just going to do the things we do here at UConn the way that we do them, the way we want to build the program,” Hurley said. “We want to recruit high school players, develop them, keep them, and then we want to go into the portal and do what we do there.

“We are just going to keep doing what we are doing. If at some point the sport has changed so much that you can’t be effective doing it that way then either I will get out of college coaching or I don’t know.”

UConn's Dan Hurley has more to say about NCAA eligibility issues: 'What are we doing?'​

If this happens, can't wait to see some of the courses NC creates and offers to keep players eligible and on their roster.

Me too, coach. And perhaps even before that.

That's the sad reality, if this stuff continues on it's going to push Hurley and other great coaches out of the college game. When you damage the game this much you no longer have anything that's real.
 
I have always thought that the NCAA was an anti-trust train wreck, but I am a bit surprised that courts are not giving the NCAA any authority to regulate their own product. We are a court ruling away from a judge ruling that a shot from the corner is worth 4 points.

In all seriousness how long til the 4-5 year eligibility goes bye-bye and we have 30 year olds in the starting five?
 
I'm hoping Alabama falls flat on their faces.

"[Coach Nate Oats] has a plan," Bediako told Yea-Alabama.com, a website for the school's NIL collective. "I'm ready to help these guys win and also give them some of my knowledge. We've got a great group of guys. I think we can win it all. I'm just excited, just as much as they are."

I watched part of the game. Bediako looked great - 13 pts and 3 rebounds on 5/6 shooting.

Bama was down two players today.
