Per the GOAT Jon Rothstein
What an absolute disaster. Who the frick wants to see these dudes transfer 5 times and be 25 when they finally leave. We are finally almost done the free covid eligibility year. We just have to move on man.

We are moving towards a world where Brian Bosworth will spend ten years playing college football at five different schools.

It's a joke but the NCAA would just be sued in court over this and lose.

It used to make sense for five year limit, because you were supposedly required to hit a certain percentage of credits towards your degree each year. By year five, you should be graduating.
But hell...who has time to "play school" these days and go to class? Is the percent towards your degree each year still even a requirement?

No rules NIL and transfers and that retarded free covid year are hurting so many sports, let's give them 5 years!

honestly I don't hate this at all.
Most D1 players arent going to the NFL or contribute meaningfully in the pros, but there are alot of damn good football players that probably would loved to play an extra year rather then graduate and sell cars
Bo Nix, Penix were 5 year guys... did anybody have a problem with that? We're getting good players for longer.

We already have dudes gaming the system to be in college 8 years. There’s no need to do this. May as well just get rid of all of it and let players be perpetually eligible. Hell, let’s let players cut from the NFL come back to college

I don’t see an issue with it. Get rid of the redshirt and just give everyone five years of eligibility.

Eventually it’ll be ruled that there is no standing for the NCAA to enforce eligibility based on years at all because it’s just a pro sport like all the rest.
So you’ll have second tier pro athletes and backup NFL QBs taking snaps at Nebraska making more than they would in the NFL at age 32.

I'm for it if they remove redshirting.
The new redshirt rules of being able to play in 4 games and a bowl games and not burning the redshirt is ridiculous.

The likely case.
But what my non-lawyer mind doesn't understand is this:
Why aren't the courts able to rule "Ok, players, you're CHOOSING to play in the NCAA. If you don't like the rules, then take your talents, find some investors, and break away from the universities and the 'stranglehold' they have on you."?
NIL, TRUE Name, Image and Likeliness is one thing, which even that is now out the window. But the NCAA, run by university Presidents/ADs, should be able to still limit eligibility. They should be able to make a hard rule that if you don't pass X amount of hours towards your major each year, then you are ineligible, and after four years, or four years plus a redshirt year, you are done. Move on.

Not a big deal. the good players will declare early anyways.

we’re already past the point of no return, just frick it atp.

Why even bother with eligibility limits? Unlimited eligibility for everyone! Maybe Leonard Fournette wants to return to LSU?

College football gonna become the XFL

I think kids should train for a year before going to college. Get faster and stronger and make a NIL bag instead of sitting the bench.

Why have rules on eligibility at all, sports media is hell bent on creating the developmental league for the NFL.

The NCAA is trying to get ahead of the next battle...which is going to be for NO limit on the number of years of eligibility. Basically, as long as a guy is enrolled at the school he is eligible to play sports.
I suspect the new proposed rule would be to do away with redshirts and waivers altogether as well so the NCAA can argue the rule is uniformly enforced rather than instances when some players got waivers and others didn't. Having uniformity will be a key argument in what is certain to be future legal action.
