That chart is an educated guess, not actual numbers.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but if they put the 5 for 5 into place that affects the international guys Then all the seniors who exhausted their eligibility would them retroactively get another year You can't pass half the rule.

I don’t think it’s half a rule. Players are held to the rule from the moment of its inception. Meaning anyone who exhausted their 4 years of eligibility prior to the rule being put in place no longer has any eligibility. Anyone who currently violates the rules for the upcoming season is also ineligible.

I obviously don’t like this interpretation but it seems to me that this is what they plan to do.

Part of the legislation is that the clock starts at either HS graduation or 19 years of age regardless of college enrollment. The whole point is to stop 25 year olds from playing in college.

I hope you are correct and most of these guys won't have any issue at all. I am not cheering for it to go against LSU, it just seems like a tall order to get this many guys eligible. Hopefully CWW has his ducks in order and get it done.

Ok I'm gonna express a concern that many will likely hate but here it goes:

I like that CWW is thinking outside the box and have no issue with getting Euro Pros to come play at LSU. It would seems to me that getting one or two questionable players eligible wouldn't have been an issue. BUT trying to get an entire team of loophole players eligible seems like its destined to backfire.

Again, I am not saying he is doing anything morally wrong like most of CBB but he has put a huge target on his back (well...a bigger one than he already had) and the NCAA and the powers that be will do everything they can to make sure he doesn't get to trot out a team of "illegal" players.

I also worry that this will affect our ability to get guys eligible in the future. Just seems like an extremely risky plan that isn't likely to work. and If these guys don't get ruled eligible, it'll be egg in CWW and LSU's face. We will get another media cycle talking shite about our university.

Just fix the pitching. lol We have a long way to go there.

You act like Jay can’t just go get 10 pitchers in the portal. Sure maybe he misses again but maybe not. It’s not 2015 where we have to wait 2-3 recruiting cycles to recruit and develop pitchers.

I assume this is a joke but I’m sure your coworker would be thrilled to find out you posted his daughter on the OT just to make fun of her.

You're going to have teams that simply rest their players once they know they are going to the CFP.

Maybe. Seeding will still matter. Would you rather play the 8 seed or the 22 seed?

You're going to have senior players opt out more because the playoff lasts longer.

---

How so? you think seniors that are playing on a playoffs team are gonna opt out of winning a NC? I don't see it.

It's going to water down the regular season.

---

In some ways yes. In other ways, many more teams will have something to play for in November.

I also think 24 teams is too many but I don't think it'll be as bad as some on here make it out to be.

Then you would be incorrect

Tim Brando is a dinosaur that rarely has a good take. Him being anti-Lane Kiffin is an endorsement in my POV. Same guy hates Will Wade.

I feel like CLK and many great coaches are a little bit (or a lot bit) on the spectrum so I beleive he said that shite without realizing it was inflamatory. Football is just college coaches version of having a train obsession.

Collegiate sports in the rest of the world are like club sports in the USA for the most part. They don’t have pseudo professional minor leagues run through universities the way we do.
