Wrong on number 4. None are being welcomed back. The sec is treating the nfl players differently because they get to say we can’t have former pros coming back. My understanding from the hearing is that no year 22 players were given retroactive eligibility.

Dick Vitale doesn’t even know his own name. Can’t expect him to appreciate the nuance of what is going on

Those players who chose to retire are welcomed back to college football


Not that it matters......but

The way this rule change was written was meant to take into affect 2027. So this 2026 season still fell under the old 5 for 4 rule.
Those 2022 kids who played their four seasons under the old rules were not welcomed back regardless if they went pro (to any extent) or not. The only 2022 kids welcomed back were those that redshirted and were going to play their 4th season this year.

So you have kids from the 2022 class both that went pro and some that never sniffed a pro anything suing.

I think the NCAA knew it was stupid to put this out in June of 26' and it not applying this season so that's when the argument/excuse of "muh they went pro" began being used to get some wins on their side.


Most like the new rule. However like everyone said at the time, the NCAA should've waited until January 27' or so to put it in writing if they wanted it to apply then.
They were warned before they put this out in June this was going to happen.

LMAO. Lane isnt leaving LSU for a downgrade in LA. You must be on that hippy lettuce.


Careful. USC is a private Big10 school in the country’s second largest market with more money than GAWD AND TEXAS combined. Oh, and a recruiting stranglehold on just about everything west of the Rockies (when they choose to take advantage of it).

I have no idea why U$C has farted around for the last two decades, but they are scary when provoked.

I have a client in Jackson and I'll be out there quite a bit over the next four months. This should be fun.

I wonder if Vitale is surprised by the ruling in Mississippi giving their star QB a 6th year, while not liking LSU to give players a 5th year they are entitled to by the present NCAA ruling. Such selective nonsense.

Stick to basketball DV. Also, what do you think about Bediaco? He was allowed to play last year for 5 games. SEC never even mentioned a thing about him.

Looking worse for the SEC & NCAA.

Would be a great time for them to offer a blanket statement to move on from this. I think it's like 300 or so athletes are under relief against the NCAA (& SEC). Maybe fall on the sword and safe some face. I think they could actually establish a line between professional and not by doing that, but I'm no lawyer.

The SEC, in particular, aren't doing themselves any favors and in his attempt to retain control over the members actually has looked weaker and misinformed.

This is also a good spot to remind everyone that just because you are "powerful", it doesn't mean that you are smart. I've worked for and with several people who couldn't get out of their own way because they couldn't see past their own nose.

Lane hasn’t done anything wrong for trying to give guys a chance to play another year of college football that WAS allowed.

I guess Tx, S Carolina, Missouri, and others will follow along and let LSU be the whipping boy.

Sankey and the SEC just filed a motion to dissolve the injunction. The pleading isn’t available yet. I assume they asked for expedited consideration.

FOX seems to be the only one giving us props, which is interesting. I was flipping around last night, when they replay their afternoon/evening shows. On one of them, they had Drew Rosenhaus (Wright's agent) on, before the court had issued the verdict. They let him push the "these guys were wronged, let them play another year" angle without arguing at all.

I wonder if they (Fox people) see this as another Trump-style, media villain that lots of people actually like, type of thing, and they're going to try to cash in on the counterpoint to the established media like ESPN.
Which would be funny, since Fox is tied to the Big 10 and ESPN has the SEC (with LSU).

I saw that on Fox, and clearly Dr Pepper (Fansville commercial) doesn't see it as terrible either. They included Kiffin in that ad, which is a way different thing than proclaiming him (real world) terrible for the sport.
