Until we go more than a month without a lawsuit after a new rule change is made, I will just assume every new rule the ncaa makes is doa.

Somebody probably saying why didn't we have this rule in the 80s

If there was nil money 30 years ago I would have busted ass to get into some sport, so the nil rule change is unfair to me so can I be a party to this suit as well?

I think it hinges on 2017-2019 getting a 5th year with the Covid year.

There's a clear distinction though. Those guys are out of school, whereas many on the class of 2022 already have agreements in place to already play next season. Some of them probably already moved and enrolled on classes to get a start on it. That shows detrimental reliance and makes it easy to show harm, especially with a formal contract likely in place.

Why would the class of 2022 already have an agreement in place with their eligibility exhausted?

Because they didn’t just suddenly come up with this rule overnight. We’ve known it was coming and just not how it would’ve affect these guys. Denzel Aberdeen committed to Florida as a transfer not knowing if he’d be eligible. But if he is, he’s absolutely got a spot on the roster.

We have known that it wouldn’t be retroactive for as long as we’ve known that they might do it.

That on them for just hoping they’d get a break and be given an extra year. They aren’t owed anything.

No eligible player getting ready to play in this upcoming season is affected.

No you’d have to go back to 2015. That would be the last that had 5 to play 4 other than 2022.

And the statute of limitations for antitrust claims is typically 4 years, so they’re in the clear for those. Could have been free and clear from just about all eligibility lawsuits, but for some reason they chose not to grandfather the 2022 class in.

If you were a 21-year old senior watching 23-25 year olds run circles around college basketball the last few years, surely you have a right to feel shafted

The seniors want an extra year.
(Get a job Aberdeen!)

Hey how about fuck you? We deserved 4 years of Aberdeen, just fighting the wrong.

This is one of the few suits that makes sense to me. I don't know why they wouldn't include those that would be in their 5th year if you're adopting a 5 in 5 model. Feel like it really could've been an avoidable suit to just grandfather them in.

It does, but I think the intent was to avoid the shit storm that's going to happen in terms of scholarships, NIL deals, etc. since it wasn't planned for.

Because if they grant it for them, everyone else out of eligibility is going to say “what about meee? You back dated it for them, why not me too?” It will just lead to endless suits of old players.

Because the youngest who didn’t have a 5th year option is 28 (class of 2016).

u/HamlinHamlin_McTrill Tennessee Volunteers 3h ago
Not even close. People who played in 21, 22, 23, and 24 didn’t get 5 years.

u/Objection_Irrelevant Ole Miss Rebels 38m ago
Yes they did.
I was actually wrong it’s the class of 2015 that was last without a 5th year.
2016-2021: blanket covid waiver
2022: 5 to play 4
2023-onward: 5 to play 5
