College baseball coaches were hesitant to buy me lunch and these guys now are playing until they’re 26 making millions

Hockey needs to be exempted from this and the age changed to 20. Junior hockey goes from age 16-20 and the common path for players is U16/U18 Midgets, U20 Juniors, college. It is very, extremely rare for a freshman to come straight out of HS. Like, I can only think of one player, who went straight to Minnesota-Duluth out of high school, in like the last decade.

ETA - USA Hockey, the NHL, and NCAA coaches are lined up in opposition to this and want a carve out. This rule negatively effects our Team USA World Junior and Olympic teams.

Expect lawsuits.

NCAA needs to grow some nuts and enforce their own rules. Courts can overrule their player eligibility decisions but they can’t overrule forfeits , tv deals, and losing bowl/playoff eligibility. That’s the only power the ncaa has and they should use it to get this madness back to some normalcy.


The money is with the conferences/TV deals and the CFP. The NCAA needs to get them on board to enforce anything.

So you could be a starting true freshman... pretty good but not 1st or 2nd round worthy and play College sports for 5 years if you choose while getting paid?

Don’t really understand how kids who used their last year of eligibility this past season don’t get an extra year. They basically competed against kids older than them who played 5 years due to covid then everyone younger than them now gets 5 years. But NCAA says they only get 4?? Seems like a legit lawsuit
