The hearing to convert the TRO to a preliminary injunction will resume on Oct 20th. If the court issues a preliminary injunction, then the NCAA will appeal. They now have a pretty strong track record of getting these preliminary injunctions stayed. So, it won't be surprising if Dent becomes ineligible at some point during the season.

They really need to add to the Save college sports law that it becomes the exclusive domain of federal courts.

Could we ever get to a place where some players are eligible in one state, but not eligible in another state??

This whole situation is insane

Having to have discussions like this during preseason camp is full on ridiculous. The NCAA has made a shite show of college athletics. To be ruled eligible temporarily and then have that revoked mid-season is assinine

Ummm

Look, I want LSU to have as good a team as possible, just like everyone else. But the NCAA isn't the one making this a shitshow, they're simply trying to maintain rules of eligibility. If you're trying to get someone who needs a court order to allow him to play, then you're the one making things crazy. It is what it is.

The way 5 for 5 was handled was a shitshow. Drug on for months, initial reports were that it would apply to 2022, some bluebloods cried about that, so it was changed last minute. Yes, the NCAA invited all this litigation over 5 for 5.

Don’t think thats accurate. Clark dismissed his claims in the California case to join the Kentucky case. He might be protected by the TRO, but likely won’t be under any preliminary injunction as he is no longer a party to that case.

If the NCAA would have originally included everyone in the five for five, then this would not be happening. Full disclosure, I don't even know what the hell the rules are with internationals and frankly, I don't have the bandwidth to care or pay attention. It'll be an accomplishment if I learn their names by SEC play

They changed the rules mid-game and have had selective enforcement of rules and began enforcing some rules that were new additions as well.

The timing of 5-5 was inexcusable. The players losing eligibility had until March 26th to either enter the portal and sit idly by without any current eligibility remaining - or - make a business decision such as NFL/NBA tryouts.

Then 3 months later the NCAA enacts 5-5 and says players that entered the portal and sat idly for 3 months get another year, but the players that thought their eligibility was done and tried out for professional teams would not be eligible. The NCAA could have simply grandfathered those players in, and problem solved. Instead of being the adults in the room, they started a whole clusterfrick of causing players to seek court orders in hopes of protecting their interests.

frick the NCAA.

This is where a lot of the selective eligibility decisions have been. The NCAA MBB uneducated see LSU trying to sign them and think it’s ridiculous, not understanding that international players have been a piece of MBB for a long time. The NCAA mostly ignored any eligibility criteria, until of course, this year. The NCAA again just doing NCAA things to muck everything up. Everything they’re trying to selectively enforce the year, by default with the new rules, get reset next season with clear eligibility rules. Instead of just be smart and letting this season play out like previous seasons, they decide to be idiots, causing all of this.

Again, none of this chaos is even a thought next season, all the rules for 5-5 and international age eligibility, etc. become set and none of this court bullshite is even considered. All the NCAA had to do was sit tight.

Was 5-5 known to be coming down the pipe on or before 3/26? I don’t remember timeframe of when the talks about 5-5 started.

Google AI says 5-5 first made public early April.

It is my understanding that there were talks prior to 3/26 and 5-5 was likely to be adopted at some point, but most thought it could take up to close to a year.

However, there were some players that were advised to enter the portal by their agents, etc., but not every player received that advice, which makes it all the worse. Again, all the NCAA had to do was grandfather those players (2022 incoming class) and none of the would even exist. Incoming 2021 class already expired eligibility as a whole and incoming 2023 is already included in the 5-5.

The NCAA is basically trying to punish players that tried to get jobs playing ball because they thought their eligibility had expired - otherwise they would have stayed in college - while giving that eligibility to players that didn’t try to get jobs playing ball.

It was enacted on 6/23 (apologies I had 6/26 stuck in my head, but just double checked), but the idea had been tossed prior to 3/26, hence the reason some players that were out of eligibility still entered the transfer portal. There would be zero reason to do that otherwise. I’m sure there were some agents with clients that had zero chance of professional opportunity advised them to enter the portal and we’ll just see what happens.
