I agree with Dabo. Its getting ridiculous
I agree with him, but I think he’s oversimplifying the issues.
Yes, it’s frustrating when the NCAA says “no, no, no,” and a judge says “yes.” But how we got here matters.
The NCAA’s new model is intended to establish a clearer eligibility window: five years, with far fewer exceptions. Within that window, you and your coaches decide how much you play. Sitting out doesn’t automatically buy you another year.
That’s why counting seasons played doesn’t tell the whole story. Playing your fourth season and being in your sixth year of college are two different things.
And, like he said, I don’t blame these players for wanting to come back. Maybe it’s for the experience, maybe it’s for the money, or maybe both. Their motivation isn’t the issue.
The complication is the transition. The NCAA expanded eligibility but excluded players who had already exhausted their eligibility under the old rules—even though some would still fit within the new five-year window. That’s the dispute behind these court challenges.
You can support a firm eligibility limit and still question whether the NCAA handled that transition fairly.

It's my understanding anyone who participates with NFL team in practice or whatever
has to have a contract of some sorts
there is liablity and a process that is protocol
Wright I think got 25k or 50k, but didn't get a dime towards his actual contract because he didn't make the team

dude, we're just talking some players who might be graned a 5th season
We don't want to be ND without a conference
LSU and SEC is frankly, hand in hand branding
why on earth would we consider leaving the SEC over a judgement of a few players from 2022
all this stuff gets sorted out in the end

What about 6/6
Or is the SEC just going to pretend that Chambliss didnt happen?
I think the 5 for 5 rule came about because of so many cases like Chambliss
We will never have another Max JOhnson story after this year- he graduated early 2019.
So Max is playing for a 5th school at age 25.5
The former clevland Browns TE Is 21 or 22?
all you can do is laugh about it

s playing under a preliminary injunction. As in the 5th-year senior cases, the NCAA must obey the court order.
And that's why the players in question will be play this year without a single consequence...
Trying to penalize the universities from bringing them back was a huge mistep
If they had implemented the new rule in Janaury, Chambliss and many others out! and these 2022 players would be in college, not needing an attorney
but the NCAA put out the rule too late, and now you have a mess only a judge can make you clean up

If LSU had pulled a Chambliss for a star player that was twice denied eligibility by the NCAA, you would still have the major of the media saying it’s gonna bite them and he shouldn’t play.
It's time someone on air call them out on it...
Meanwhile we have Finebaum...He's still butthurt Lane left Tennessee :lol:

It was also "unfair" to only give players a scholarship and not share the money. Now, most SEC starters make north of half a million per year.
"Fair" went out the window when they started paying these guys massive amounts of money. Whether people like it or not, it ultimately makes them professional, and incentivizes doing whatever it takes to have the best roster possible. 23 and 24 year olds are more mature and usually are more productive then 18 and 19 year olds.
so if Fair is out the window because fair for little children's toys, and the playes are making pro like money in college, then the only thing that makes sense is to enforce your own new rules of elgibility, right?
5 for 5
Does anyone know when the effective date of that new rule applies? I only know it impacted 2022 players coming out of HS.
The NCAA has to tell players like Chambliss they can't play this year
He already played 5
Until I hear a good argument while he plays but these guys told NO to their 5th season, I will stick with Lane and Players on this
Follow the rules
The so called rule bender is actually following the rules on point

I am using him because he is a star player and well known.
Every commentor on TV or social media is complaining about younger players would be losing spots because "NFL" guys are coming back... "that's unfair"
If I am following the developments correctly, the NCAA was trying to put an end to 24, 25, and 26 year olds playing college football instead of going pro or getting a job. The new rule ends the redshirt juggling game, and season ending injuries and/or personal reason exemptions that get you a Max Johnson at age 25.5 at Georgia Southern. I think his 5th school??
If these players can't come back, then Chambliss and many other have to be told, we're sorry but you can't play this year.- by rule, you are too old.
Why isn't this being discussed? Bad timing right? Because they were told they could play. But the 2022 guys told they could not come back can't come back because why? Young Players loosing spots? You are already a pro, even though you didn't make the 53 man roster?
Well...The intent of the new rule isn't being followed going into this seaon already, right? . That's why the judge and DA are lowering the hammer.
They will play and without consequence.
Because if they don't play while you have guys running around a 6th and 7th season. That means it's all a joke from the start.

Are any of the NFL players committed to LSU practicing with the team yet?
I don't consider a player an NFL player unless they made it to the 53 man roster and actually signed the Rookie Min salary of 850k.
So far, all the players in question have not made an NFL roster...
Camps filled with undrafted players are "trying out"
I think it's a bit tasteless and childish

I have a simple question:
Based on everything we’ve heard in the media, IF it’s proven in court that Kiffin or someone from LSU did contact some of the players from the class of 2022, can any legal action be taken against Kiffin or LSU?
It's legal to recruit
It's illegal to restrict eligibilty to student athletes from the 2022 who meet the age reguirements per the NCAA rules
