The class of 2022 players who already played 4 years were operating under the assumption that they had exhausted their NCAA eligibility and the NFL was their only option to continue playing. Then the NCAA changed the 5 for 5 rule in June...well after the NFL draft and after rookies were already in mini camp. Those players were completely unaware that they would have gotten a 5th year of eligibility if they had just graduated school and went to sell insurance instead of declaring for the NFL draft.

I'm fully aware of the order of events. Changing the rule in June and not providing provisions for the Class 2022 players means it was fairly obvious the NCAA had no intentions of grandfathering them in or applying the new rules to them.

quote:
But the 2022 players who played 4 seasons and were then moving on to the NFL draft because that was the only option to them in the spring, those players should be allowed to return if they get cut by their NFL team before the season starts.

And this is where we will agree to disagree. They signed a contract and took money from an NFL franchise. I would have sympathy for them if they had immediately tried to regain their eligibility and didn't attend fall camp.

However, trying to make the NFL roster first and using college football as their back up plan is absurd. They are trying to have their cake and eat it too. If they aren't good enough to make the 53 man roster then they can sign practice squad contracts or "join the 98% of NCAA athletes who go pro in something other than sports."

did every major conference get a say so in Chambliss' eligibility injunction?

I forgot that he entered the draft, signed a contract, and was cut from an NFL roster before deciding to try to come back to college. Definitely applies here.

So now you're either trolling or just intellectually dishonest.

There was no alternative option for them to do bro. Its the NCAA's fault for constantly changing eligibility rules and fricked up timing and a shite show of their redshirting rules.

Doesn't matter. It's the kids fault; not the NCAA. They chose to go pro which everyone with at least one functioning braincell knows that at this point you can't go back. Please provide a link to any news story where these kids who wanted to go back to NCAA and not be profressionals petitioned the NCAA or filed suit before NFL training camps. They chose to make an NFL team and are using the NCAA as their fall back plan because they are good enough for the NFL.

It sucks for them that the rules changed after they left, but they were no longer part of or eligible to part of the NCAA at that time so the rule changes don't apply to them. If the rule changes were meant to apply to them then NCAA would have announced provisions and grandfather clauses at the time they announced the rule changes. Its obvious the rules were meant to go into effect for athletes eligible to participate in the 26-27 school year.

There's nothing stopping these "kids" from continuing to use their name imagine and likeness to earn a living.

These kids were not given a fair chance to make a timely decision of what path they wanted to take given the new rules that do exist. They are wanting a fair chance with the Rules now Existing!

Oh well. They were fully aware that signing a contract would make you ineligible to play NCAA Football again when they chose to sign their contract. Were any of these "kids" fully aware of the rules changes when they entered fall camp and tried to make an NFL team? They continued down the path of professionalism well after the rules changed.

I would have sympathy for anyone that filed a petition to regain college eligibility within 10 days of the NCAA announcing the rule changes. However, this continuing to try and make the NFL roster and coming back to college after you get cut is BS and you know it.

Hey I get that. But if certain schools have different sets of rules, then there should be two different leagues for the two different types of schools.

Dude if you don't think there are kids in AP using false addresses to attend their school of choice then you are completely naive. You have your head in the sand, if you don't think the top public schools in the state have several players on their teams that live outside of their area.

re: With college football starting Saturday what are your tips for betting on College Football

Posted by armytiger96 on 8/27/26 at 10:53 pm to FlyingTigerBo

Just flip a coin. All the other tips and suggestions in this thread are complete BS. When a sustained long term winning percentage of 55% is considered elite among the professionals and 52% win percentage is needed to break even you're basically rationalizing a flip of the coin bet.

Here's your tip!

They schedule out of state schools Bc either the admin , parents, or both think they are “too good” for local teams Kind of a “look at me “ thing… we’re going to TX to play HS football… we are so great..

Yeah OK keep on believing that . . . If you haven't noticed its pretty common for top tier programs to cross state lines to play other top tier programs. Sorry your school didn't make the cut.

I'm sure it has everything to do with "look at me" and nothing to do with teams taking into consideration how that L affects their power ranking calculations.
