Pretty good, other than the fact that he’s wrong about this being a one time thing. Could players in the future suit to come back? Sure, but that wouldn’t be THIS situation. Under the rules, these players rightly have a fifth year. Moving forward nobody else will have been denied their fifth year. Somebody from 2021 wants to try to come back, tough shite you’re five years expired and it’s against the rules. Somebody from 2023 wants to leave and come back, tough shite you knew the rules. So those people can try to come back, but it would be a completely different type of lawsuit because they’re actively going against the rules, unlike these kids. Those lawsuits wouldn’t have any traction and would be a much tougher sell.

That was my issue with his previous take, but at least he's being a bit more fair this time around.

The other thing to, this probably expedites the Save College Sports Act getting passed which brings more structure to the current stage of college athletics

The source of the problem is ignorance.

The only other angle I can see is if they went through the Draft process after their 3rd or 4th year, and tried to use their remaining college eligibility.

But that’s completely different than what happened. Could a local favorable judge rule in the players favor? Yes. But it’s unlikely, because, as you mentioned, the current case is a different case of discrimination against the ‘22 class.

If 5 to play 5 supersedes all then you could play pro for a couple years and if you can't hang and have time to come back to college you should be able to.

I have no problem with this at all, only 1% of college kids play pros and even if you do make the pros the average length you are able to make a team and get paid is 3 yrs. Let the athletes get what they can get in the few years they are able to get paid playing a game. Just the way I see it. 5 to play 5 period.

You have to be in the less than 1% minority.
