Hmmm, don't know. Probably taking the same courses as Max Johnson at Georgia Southern who is in his 7th year in college.

C'mon man, you need to come up with a better "rationalization" of your stance than that. Now, you single out these class of 2022 guys who were NOT in college for 7 or 8 years. Once again, this is ONLY for 1 year for the 2022 HS class due to the NCAA screwup on the timing of the 5 for 5.

Since you like to repeat your posts, I will do the same. Your post was useless and stupid!

Wasn't age part of the reason the NCAA was formed? Pro players had something to do with it too. Something to do with the safety of the younger "student" athletes.

RICE, had James Casey played minor league ball never made it to the majors
came back and played college football very successful tight end got some honors went on to play in the pros for a few years

This is absolutely nothing new and trying to conflate it with the NFL players coming back you're an idiot

The op is

The same classes 5th year seniors have been taking for decades, I'd imagine. Or graduate transfers going back to 2006 when Ryan Smith followed Urban Meyer from Utah to Florida.

and just think, the ncaa fricked the skier, who was actually on the pro circuit, from playing football.

FIFY

Nope. The SEC Title was in the early 2000s. The natty was in the mid 2000s.

Mauck played minor league baseball and won a natty in 2003.

Reauxhan won an SEC title in 2001, and came straight from high school.

Drew Henson is another name. In 1999, he was taking snaps away from Tom Brady in Ann Arbor with a few million Steinbrenner bucks in his pocket.

Famously, Mauck was forced to enter the 2001 SEC title game in the 1st quarter (temporarily) and then permanently late in the 2nd quarter, which he won. I'm guessing that is what YA was referring to. This was in the early 2000s.

Mauck QBed the 2003/04 team to the SEC title (obviously) and the subsequent natty. This was all in the mid-2000s.

The bigger lawsuit for this is going to come when BYU players claim that their religious freedom is being infringed upon since they would lose eligibility time by taking two year missions after graduation.

It's coming, just wait.

Damn. I’m sorry.

I didn’t realize Max Johnson was bought off of an NFL roster. Nice job by GA Southern to pull that one off.

Though I would agree him being allowed a 7th year is BS. Time for dudes like this to move the F on.

Not an LSU player so it's clearly not news.

Never said that Max Johnson came off an NFL roster. One suggestion for you: Remedial Reading 101. One another mistake on YOUR part. You mentioned players being "bought off NFL rosters". You realize that EVERY single player that LSU has been involved was NOT on an NFL roster. If they were, they would still be in the NFL.

Once again a useless, stupid post coming from an account who probably uses AI to post. As far as thoughts go, you might want to borrow some from other posters. You and your AI buddy aren't cutting it.
