re: Should the NCAA make students be enrolled for 1 year before they play?
Posted by junior on 5/20/26 at 10:08 am to PeleofAnalytics
I'm not sure it would get struck down. Students (even freshmen) could still get NIL It doesn't prevent them from making money. Seems like a school should be able to say who can play on their team.
(Maybe all students get place on probation until they have 30 hours and at least a 2.5GPA. Then forbid students from playing while on probation.)
I know it sucks (It would be bad for LSU baseball) but I can't think of any other way to change the direction of college sports.
More than likely, I'll either need to embrace the new normal or give up on college sports.

Should the NCAA make students be enrolled for 1 year before they play?

OK to participate in practice, but couldn't play until they have completed 2 semesters at the school.
I'm not sure if it would hold up to legal challenge, but it would help fix some serious issues.
Will Wade isn't getting Euro pros if that's the rule.
Harder to poach players from other schools.
Its not great, I'd love to hear any better suggestions.

I don’t like the current rules, buts it’s better than the prior rules.
Zion Williamson turned down 300k from Kansas and went to Duke for free? (And his parents had a 750k home on a teachers salary?) No way Coach K was clean.
Yes, Wade is exploiting the rules. I hope they change the rules. I’m not sure how you change the rules after O’Bannon vs NCAA..
Bama football was only off of probation a couple of years before they got caught cheating again. The NCAA basically said uncle, when it refused to give Bama the death penalty- like SMU, after the Albert Means scandal.

Brad Pitts best role
Personally, I think the IVYs have it right. No cash or scholarship to play college sports..
But that's not reality for everyone else. Hell, even coach K was dirty.
If we can hire pros, go get the best players LSU can afford.

I'm sorry, if you're over a certain age and are a professional over there you (shouldn't be able) to play COLLEGE basketball. If you're 21 and have been drafted, same rules apply.
I agree w the above,
men 22-25 yo with years of professional basketball experience is an unfair advantage. But if it's the rules, might as well take advantage while you can.

Dogs- neighbors let their dogs roam free. Although the dogs would typically hang out by their home- we'd always see a neighbor's dog walking in the street. Everyone knew each others dogs and which ones were friendly and which ones were not.
Also, dogs used to have white poop

Chuck Connors, the star of The Rifleman, was the first NBA player to shatter a backboard on November 5, 1946.
Best way to stop illegal immigration is to kill the jobs. Fine the employers.
$1000- fine for 1st offense
$10,000 for offense 2-5
$25,000 per- for 6+ offenses
anyone (including illegals) reporting such offense gets 10% of fine paid by the employer.
Neither Republicans (it will hurt many businesses) or Democrats (don't want 12+ million gone in 3-6 months.) want this.
They should do it in conjunction w increased work visas, tax on remittance (could pay for the wall several fold) - and it won't be popular here- but I think they need a way to let a lot of them stay permanently- but without citizenship, voting rights, etc.
Republicans will never get a better time to get most of what they want. Otherwise, the next Dem in office could make executive orders in the wrong fashion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they will pay out 116 million for the 1-2 million winners and - if lump sum- 65 million split between the 2 big winners.
More cash will be paid out for the 1-2 million winners vs jackpot.

48 winners in New Jersey, Louisiana , and Indiana
Close to New York, New Orleans, and Chicago?

Chat gpt say second most million dollar winners was January 2021’s $731 million drawing had 13 million-dollar-level winners total. Over 90 last night.
Ok yes, it’s a stupid game, tax for the ignorant. But I still buy a ticket a couple of times a month when I get gas.
Most drawings, no one wins the pot, and there are 0-3 people who win 1-2 million.
This drawing
2 winners
Over 90 people won 1 million or more-11 in Louisiana alone
Jackpot was ~145 million 116 payout to the 1-2 million winners, and the two jackpot winners both get 14 million?
They had over 90 people win a million or more last night, there were only 8 people have that payout in the prior 10 drawings.
