They would be smart to ban school from participating that roster a pro player. That gives more strength to keeping college, college.
Every school is paying players they are all pros

They can go to the CFL and make it on merit. Playing college sports is not a right.

On what grounds? The 5 for 5 rule technically was not put in until after these guys had finished the eligibility that they signed up for I. 2022 when they were freshman. Yeah it sucks but they really have no standing
Using your own thoughts, the SEC ruled on the ruling AFTER a judge allowed them to play. So you want the SEC to be able to go back and penalize teams and players before their ruling? Seems like both are hand in hand.

So they are employees now or are we still pretending these are students?

They are employees IMHO and I hope Congress doesn't let colleges kick this can down the road

I hope these 2022 4 for 4s sue the ever living frick out of the NCAA, SEC, BIG 10, ESPN, Paul Finebaum, etc

Could be the nail in the coffin for all of this.
As if these players are not already professional.
I mean they are being paid for their services.
None of this is going to hold up. The cat is already out of the bag.
CA started this and look what happened to their PAC-12

But these players used up their eligibility under the rules that existed when they played. So they are no longer eligible "college players"

Same as Trinidad Chambliss

Thats the part that gets lost. This issue is a 1 year problem it will not be an issue any other season moving forward.

As did several college players who sought and were granted injunctions. Most notably, Trinidad Chambliss. So why all of a sudden the need for a rushed rule that SCREAMS collusion to address this group of players who, like others before them, were granted an injunction preventing the NCAA from prohibiting them from playing.
The major conferences are essentially a monopoly in the lucrative marketplace of college football and basketball. For decades they have been able to skirt around that because everyone was willing to go along with the farce that each was "amateur sports" (despite the NCAA and conferences generating millions/BILLIONS from the "amateur sports"). With this move the conferences are not moving closer to antitrust like behavior and litigation will quickly follow.

Listen I’m not naive enough to believe that this won’t continue a slippery slope.
The issue is we didn’t start the fire.
We are only hurting ourselves by not playing the game as our competitors are
