Will this decision hinge on definition of a pro football player?

Sign contract, go to camp, but never play in a single regular season game but is released.
Consider a student goes to medical school, but is never awarded his MD degree, he did not measure up. He can go back to school and try again.
Food for thought? Good or bad analogy?

From my understand, this situation is a result of the class of 2022 not being told they had an extra year of eligibility until after the deadline to apply for the NFL draft.

Tony Clayton seems like he's on a fricking mission. I imagine he will talk about what defines a "pro" at some point. He was on with Moscona yesterday and was throwing out labor law violations for denying players the ability to make money. This court case is going to be wild.

Court date is Thursday. Judge could hold SEC in contempt?
Judge could rule SEC can write rules but not apply retroactively in violation of court order?
Judge could protect players for this season and SEC rules and penalties could not be activated for this season?

I saw someone compare it to dropping out of bootcamp, but then being referred to as a veteran.
I don't really have any analogies. I think this should be about the 5 for 5.

The judge says it hinges on eligibility for a 5th year
none of these players actually made a 53 NFL roster where they would get a minimum of 850k for rooking min
at best a few of these players got a 50k signing bonus for "trying out"

Kind of like getting a scholarship for first year of med or law school and then dropping out

When I was a kid and was careless, my Dad would say “Son these are avoidable problems with predictable results”
Someone should have told the NCAA this, and if there is any truth to the notion that this is by design so that Congress will fix the problem, then the NCAA and the conferences all need to be dissolved. Governing bodies that are so feckless that they have to outsource their authority should no longer exist. As adults we have a responsibility to see and lead turn secondary and tertiary effects from the decisions we make.

I would argue that college football is a pro league now. They are just going from one professional league to another. The masses are still thinking this is amateur sports. That is antiquated logic.

Who are we kidding? ALL CFB are professionals now. CFB is essentially minor league for NFL.
