Look up any of the 100 lawsuits over the last couple years. Federal court ones will be the most relevant. House Settlement is obviously the big one - held that the NCAA restricting NIL / payment violated federal anti-trust law.

---

Ole Miss doesn't have to be a part of the NCAA. But it's in their best interest to be a part of it.

---

There's no alternative, it's essentially a monopoly. Which federal courts have already ruled it is (which opened the door to all these lawsuits).

quote:

---

With that membership comes responsibilities and guidelines to be followed.

---

Not if those rules violate the law - which they do.

quote:

---

Like a "No Compete" Clause.

---

Which are largely illegal.

quote:

---

They could go to a school outside of the NCAA, like JUCO or NAIA.

---

No where near the same. Both in terms of current earning potential but also future earnings.

quote:

---

Same with the Schools. They don't have to be a member of the NCAA, but as long as they are they should be held accountable for following the rules and regulations and the rulings of the NCAA.

---

The NCAA is essentially a monopoly. There isn't another option for the kids or schools.

None of this gives a free pass for the NCAA to enforce illegal rules which the schools have very little say in. And the players have absolutely no say in.

Want to be able to enforce illegal rules - collective bargain or get anti-trust protection from Congress. Until either of those happen, the NCAA has no legal ability to enforce rules which violate a wide variety of laws (both federally and state).

quote:

---

They used to have to sit out a year, this is no different.

---

That rule was done away with due to legal pressure / challenges. So your would be correct, it is no different.

quote:

---

How is this any different?

---

Those have all been agreed to with collective bargaining. This hasn't. This is akin to an employer saying you have 2 weeks out of the year to change jobs.

quote:

---

This isn’t going to help matters and I bet it results in the courts imposing rules changes on the NCAA again.

---

Yeah a kid is 100% going to transfer in the spring. This rule will be challenged, and a court will deem it's illegal (which it is). NCAA just made up a rule knowing they'll lose again in court... Another plea to Congress for help.

quote:

---

Wasn’t the president of Mexico elected because she had close ties to the cartels? How the hell does that sit with their military?

---

Well, you see, the military also has close ties to the cartel...

Just keep racking up the non-con series wins.

quote:

---

Couldn't even win with a hometown judge.

---

Hometown judge knows ball and knows QB2 is better. Doing Tennessee a favor here.

Ole Miss wide receiver Izaiah Hartrup will return in 2026. Granted a 7th year of eligibility by the NCAA.

Mostly played special teams for us last year (punt and kick return). Was a good WR at the FCS level before joining OM last year so may be able to play himself into the rotation

quote:

---

Would have been a bit awkward since they fired his brother.

---

I mean we kept Tom Luke around after firing Matt. It's not unheard of.

But yeah nice pickup for us - an analyst with a ton of experience is always a good thing.
