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?

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"
Posted on 8/27/26 at 12:16 pm to JoeENorthlando
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

They better bar any team that is player a player ruled ineligible then (Looking at Chambliss) assuming these players are also granted a TRO.
You can’t bar team A from the playoffs for playing an ineligible player, but not bar team B for playing an ineligible player.
ETA: This is exactly what I said they should do with Chmabliss and Sorsby when he was trying to play. Rule them ineligible even though they’ve received a TRO. You can’t force them not to play but you can force the school to forfeit any conference game played with an ineligible player. The CFP committee needs to announce they’re in lockstep with the NCAA and conferences with regards to eligibility.
That puts an end to all of this because none of these guys using bullshite loopholes to get TROs would be rostered

It is a committee designed to vote on teams not control teams. What the hell is this shite.

If they have ADs from NCAA member conferences then they will have a problem.

No, I understand. I just think you are being idealistic to assume they're going to have such conversations in a way that there is discoverable evidence to that point. They can leave LSU out with a wink and a nod and with conversations in private. These are not dumb people - they're not going to put collusion in big bold letters into the minutes of their meeting. If they want to leave LSU out, they will.

And they'll have a defensible reason.
It's not a 4 team playoff any more. If LSU only has 1 or 2 losses at end of season and they're not in the playoff, there's no defensible reason and media won't be able to help themselves. The playoff committee will be asked questions, and if they're self-righteous enough to reject LSU over this after allowing Michigan and rejecting FSU in 2023, then they'll be arrogant enough to brag about why they rejected LSU.

That is - you have to admit - at least a very plausible scenario.
I don't think so, but it is the most poorly organized and governed sport in the world, so maybe.

The CFP allowed Michigan to play for the national championship even though they were busted for a large-scale, sign-stealing/scouting scheme to give them a competitive advantage on the field (the definition of cheating). The CFP also still recognizes Michigan as the national champion for that year. So does the NCAA. They both have no integrity due to that issue alone.
And no, that wasn't just typical in-game sign stealing if the other team's signs are weak and easy to figure out. They were sending people onto future opponents' sideline to steal all of their signs for when they played. They were flat-out cheating. Their coaches were suspended for damn near half the season (including their head coach), but they weren't penalized when it came to league and *national championships?? What a joke. F the CFP and the NCAA.

They are a little late. The players are all being paid to play ball, thus they are professionals.....
