Name the players beyond Pavia who were given extra eligibility because they played JUCO.

And also cite the “Pavia Rule” in the NCAA handbook.

Last time I’m going to humor you. Pavia was granted an injunction for extra years of eligibility (blanket waiver) against his JUCO years. The NCAA appealed to the 6th circuit court and LOST the appeal. Since then there’s been a class action suit by dozens of players that is still in court. You people always I’m denial of news that may upset you are exhausting.

doesn't apply to current student athletes.. only incoming enrollees

Yet you knew exactly what I meant when I called it that. You’re an emotional woman

Not exactly. Current athletes that still have eligibility remaining under the old rule, can decide to use the older rule or the new rule, depending on the one that gives them the most eligibility. Athletes that have exhausted eligibility have to use the old rule.

You’re the one huffing and puffing and refusing to back up claims with actual evidence. Calling me an emotional woman is just projection on your part.

So where in the NCAA handbook is the Pavia rule?

But that ruling was made before this rule. In addition, what they attacked was the NCAA being inconsistent with their eligibility rulings and that fact that the old rules gave the NCAA discretion in determining eligibility. I think this is supposed to take that discretion away. You have either played five years, or your five year window has closed. I guess there can still be some exceptions for pregnancy, military service or missions, but hopefully that’s not discretionary, so there’s nothing to attack the rule on.

For schools with current student-athletes who may be eligible for hardship waivers or extensions of eligibility, the Cabinet indicated that the deadline to submit any waiver requests to NCAA staff is July 31. After that date, waivers would no longer be available for current student-athletes or prospects.

Student-athletes whose fourth season of collegiate eligibility was completed by spring 2026: No additional eligibility.
Currently enrolled student-athletes with eligibility remaining after the 2025-26 academic year: Flexibility for schools to apply the age-based model or continue with the previous eligibility rules (four seasons to compete with five total years of eligibility), whichever is most beneficial to that individual.
Prospects expected to graduate from high school in spring 2027: Age-based model only.
Prospects expected to graduate from high school in spring 2026, regardless of planned enrollment date: Age-based model only.
Prospects who graduated prior to spring 2026 and have not enrolled: The NCAA Eligibility Center will review the prospect's individual circumstances and apply the age-based model or existing delayed enrollment eligibility rules, whichever is most beneficial to that individual.

So baseball seniors like Stanfield and Cowan can’t have a 5th year until the attorneys win the lawsuits, but by that time the MLB Draft would have likely already occurred. So they lose (or dont regain) their leverage. That sucks.

they lost the appeal because the lawsuit was moot once the NCAA granted Pavia (and others) a waiver. The Court never made a ruling on the merits

You realize Joey Aguilar lost the same argument/lawsuit a few months ago right? There is no Pavia Rule
