Diego Pavia court ruling another potentially massive blow for NCAA — 'It's not going to end until we collectively bargain'
The 30,000-foot view of the Pavia decision: It not only paves the way for all junior college players to gain an additional year, but it may invite even more legal challenges over the NCAA's eligibility rules.
If this get held up schools can use JUCOs as minor leagues. Basically park kids for a couple years until they are ready to go.

Yep, so we have a series of minor leagues JUCO (minor³)> DIII (lower minor²) > DII (upper minor minor²) > FCS (lower minor) > FBS (upper minor) > NFL...and in an alternate universe you have whatever the CFL pretends to be (I've watched the games when nothing esle was on, but this 3 down thing is as much football as lipsyncing during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a real live performance). What's next, unlimited transferring in minor league college football where you get to compete until the age of 30?

This is just getting ridiculous. Someday we may approach sanity again, hopefully in my lifetime.

I think the hysteria over NIL is totally overblown
.-.
NIL, ironically, is not the biggest challenge at the moment.
Having said that, I’ve sat in the coaches area of a P4 school after a reg season game and a lot of time is spent with parents who want to know what they can get in terms of $$$.
I can see why HCs are moving to coordinator roles.

Holy smokes, I can only imagine how some of those conversations go..."Coach, my boy scored 2 TDs and ran for 100 yards today, I think that's worth $100K. Get it or he portals out next week...".

I wonder how much Al Bundy would have gotten in NIL? He scored 4 touchdowns for Polk High in the City Championship. His life would have been completely different.

I think that stuff already happens, though. No program fires its coach these days without getting a thorough appraisal of who's likely to stay or leave first. Texas A&M, for instance, wanted to get rid of Jimbo but keep as many of his players as possible - so it decided to hire the guy who recruited a lot of those players in Mike Elko.
So to your point, yes, the demands of players and agents are likely to get more explicit and public as their perceived power grows. But the coaches dealing with those ultimatums will continue to be the ones who were on shaky footing to begin with.

Charlie Baker was on Pat McAfee today and while I think he’s trying to bail water from the titanic as NCAA President, he made an interesting point.

If a kid plays 2 years at JUCO and then gets 4 years at FBS does that give everyone 6 years (or whatever) of eligibility?
He was basically begging Congress to help him find a way to fix this mess.

Issue seems that NCAA doesn't treat Juco and prep schools the same. A player can spend a year at a prep school without affecting his eligibility but if that same player had gone the Juco route, his eligibility clock would have started.

This would be a pretty huge boon for JuCos I would imagine. If this holds up I would assume NAIA will fall into the same umbrellaDiego Pavia court ruling another potentially massive blow for NCAA — 'It's not going to end until we collectively bargain'

Why would extend to the NAIA? Those are real 4 year schools.
Not counting JUCO towards eligibility is absurd. I hate how these players have so much power. They are destroying everything beautiful about college sports.

Which would make sense. Since one is a high school/secondary school where you are competing with high school kids and that other is actually college sports.

Worse.
They could get two free years and JUCO and then 4 years to play 5 in the NCAA.
With injury redshirts you could have kids playing college sports for nearly a decade on the regular.

Once this happens there will just be a straight case to argue there should be no caps whatsoever. "Grad students should be able to play until their third PHD is completed!" I look forward to the 32 year old QBs and place kickers (sarcasm).
They'll warm up playing scrimmage games against the Jets

Ha, there is next move after the "unlimited rule" and that is why can't people play in the pros and then go back to college? I can just see it now; "Your starter today at QB is who you might remember played three years in the NFL and after a break has decided to ABC school at age 31 to get his MBA/PHD."They'll warm up playing scrimmage games against the Jets

This is a tricky debate. Some parents/kids are more sophisticated when it comes to eligibility, etc. For example, a kid who my son competed against who is 2 years older than him (son is a college sophomore) is playing D1 basketball and he is a redshirt freshman! He played the hold back/PG/redshirt game as his parents are very sophisticated when it comes to eligibility and have the money to afford it. And, there are many kids who do 1 year at a community college before going to college and use up a year of eligibility when they could have done a PG year if they understood the process or had the money to afford it and not used up a year.
