Now make the rule fair and include the current college seniors who just finished their 4th season of eligibility. I will keep pushing for the high school class of 2022 who have been screwed by others getting extra eligibility since they entered college. https://t.co/LiegwQNd0q

@DownOnTheBlue @shaysellshouses @shannonperry73 I agree with this 100%!! The high school class of 2021 and 2022 were both affected by COVID and JUCO kids and are getting no love. Though a bit late the NCAA can still do right by the 2022 class.

[Kelvin Bryson @Coverman72]

I've said this in several post. The 2026 college senior class being left out is horrible! Coming in they had to compete with COVID kids, followed by extra year JUCO kids, and now they are technically eligible if they didn't burn a red shirt and are being left out.

[Ryan P. Mulvaney @ryanpmulvaney]

I think we all anticipate litigation on this issue once voted on though, let’s be honest here, the NCAA’s delay in today’s vote is indeed with strategic purpose.

I’ve heard from several college athletes whose eligibility expired in 2026 - they AND COACHES are inquiring about the legitimacy of the rule assuming it passes. Coaches have stressed to me that they think it’s fundamentally unfair that those college athletes - the 2026ers - and into those college athletes are negatively impacted by this anticipated vote while others have already benefited and future college athletes will also benefit from 5/5 eligibility.

[Kelvin Bryson @Coverman72]

We think about 5th year athletes because when they were 17, 18 and 19 they lost their opportunities to COVID class. Later they lost opportunities to JUCO kids granted extra years and now they are losing by not being granted an additional year. They have been losing from day 1!

[DownOnTheBlue @DownOnTheBlue]

Love how we always think about the 5th, 6th, and 7th year college athletes as victims, but we completely neglect the 17, 18, and 19 year olds who are losing their opportunities.

[Thane Watkins @Thanedub]

@RossDellenger Just retro it one year to cover the kids caught up. One fricking year, avoid the lawsuits.

[Kelvin Bryson @Coverman72]

I will continue to stand on the fact that this rule makes 0 sense if the current class of seniors are not allowed an additional year. https://t.co/LiegwQNd0q

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

A vote is not expected during Friday’s DI Cabinet call regarding the NCAA’s proposed 5-year, age-based eligibility rule. Discussion on the topic is expected to continue with action now anticipated at their next meeting the week of June 22.

Overwhelming support remains.

[Andrew Cumbow @ACumbow]

Carson Cooper and Jaxon Kohler play four years of college basketball and graduate but don’t get a 5th year of eligibility.

Meanwhile, LSU has 25 year olds that were drafted in 2020, 23 year old foreigners that have been pros for years, and guys that entered the NBA draft last year all committing to them.

Last years Seniors got a COVID waiver season. Going forward, it sounds like everyone will have five years of eligibility.

If these LSU kids get eligibility, departing Seniors that want to play another year in college should sue the living hell out of the NCAA. They’ve been screwed and many are missing out on life changing $ because of it.

[Kelvin Bryson @Coverman72]

This is crazy!!! Everyone gets an additional year, but the group who deserves it the most (2022s) is getting pushed out.

[MC @ckm2244]

@Coverman72

[Kelvin Bryson @Coverman72]

I continue to see stories about players who bet on games possibly getting a year back and JUCO kids getting waivers for extra time. No one is talking about the High School Class of 2022 getting an additional year. They deserve it more than all the others. https://t.co/LiegwQNd0q

[Kelvin Bryson @Coverman72]

It makes no sense to me for the NCAA not to give the current seniors an additional year. Including this class would eliminate some of the individuals from the class action lawsuit. https://t.co/LiegwQNd0q

[Eric Blevins @EricJBlevins]

Notable update on the college athlete eligibility front from the latest @SportsLawPod, where plaintiff's counsel in the Patterson class action says he plans to pursue damages for past athletes who didn't get a 5th year of eligibility. The same lawyer who won Diego Pavia's extra season.

Part of what the lawsuit seeks is a "5-in-5" eligibility model, instead of the current 4-seasons-in-5-years rules. So if the NCAA adopts that rule, as has been reported, then that part of the lawsuit goes away.

But, another part of the lawsuit goes on for past athletes who didn't get that benefit. That's the antitrust claim alleging that the 4-seasons rule wrongly prevented athletes in the class from playing a 5th season and earning NIL money during it.

Will the athletes win? It's very much up in the air, and these antitrust claims have split courts.

The first part of the argument is whether antitrust law applies at all, and I've authored a recent law review article on this issue laid out in the the table of contents below. The short version: recent court decisions indicate that the law very likely does apply and the NCAA will have to defend the claim on the merits.

But that doesn't mean the NCAA necessarily will lose. The parties will have to litigate important issues like the definition of the market, and whether the 4-seasons rule actually harms that market economically. It will take a lot of time and money.

The NCAA is inviting feedback regarding the 5 Yr Eligibility Model that is set to be put to a vote (and likely implemented) on May 22. I still think there are a lot of unanswered questions and fallout that have not been throughly analyzed given the speed at which this has come to pass. The email to provide feedback is [email protected]. I’ve sent my two cents (ok maybe two dollars worth) and expect it will fall on deaf ears but at least I’ve got my anticipated concerns documented when they become reality.

Important information for student athletes and programs about the 5 for 5 rule.

Poor HS class of '22. They didn't get the COVID waivers, and they won't get the 5-year waivers. Feels remarkably arbitrary to not provide retroactive provisions, but it's the NCAA.

[BeLoudWearRed🔥🦅 @BeLoudWearRed]

I find it ridiculous that student-athletes who have exhausted eligibility this year don’t get the benefit of the proposed changes.
