The Indiana player won his lawsuit to get a full season of eligibility despite having played 3 seasons of JC ball and 3 seasons of D1 ball. Will this mean all JC players will get a full 4 years of eligibility now?
Also, a Santa Clara basketball player has been declared eligible despite having played in the professional Development G league for two seasons.
Are there no rules left?
I know they are thinking 5 years to play 5. No redshirts. Hate that idea.
They are going to mess this up so bad no one will ever care anymore. I know I am just about getting to that.

From a legal standpoint, the NCAA is on very thin ice with any decision to restrict anything. I’m not sure why we’re even bothering with them at this point. They are a significant center of expenses for athletic departments and they have zero credibility and zero real power. They basically pretended to slap Michigan on the wrist because they knew that Michigan, which has more than a few good lawyers associated with it, would be like “yeah right. See you court”.
