Here is the language... U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney responded to an NCAA request for clarity about her Friday ruling that granted a fifth year to athletes who graduated high school in 2022 and were not included in the new NCAA rule that allows five seasons of eligibility for Division I players.
That decision, she said, still stands, but has no impact on other NCAA rules, including its prohibition on players signing pro contracts, then coming back to college.
The ruling, as first written, had the potential to upend the upcoming college football season, where teams are starting camp planning on the so-called “five for five” rule to take effect beginning next fall.
@dannylugnut@PeteThamel@DanMurphyESPN The existing NCAA rule is that once you sign a pro contract you are prohibited from coming back. She clarified her injunction ruling to state that the existing NCAA rules will not be set aside by her initial injunction. One of those rules is the pro contract rule.
It's a quote! I, nor she, ever said she is not allowing transfers. She simply clarified her ruling by saying that those attempting to come back for a 5th year after signing pro contacts and potential transfers must adhere to existing NCAA rules with respect to those issues as well as roster and NIL NCAA rules
. Read the statement.
Lots of discussion, as there should be, about the initial recruiting process. The real work begins after you get to where you wanted to go, whether that's D1, D2, or NAIA and having the mental and physical discipline to continue to work and get better even though your not playing and may be redshirted.
@dshaw1231@ChaseDaniel Here's your evidence. He lifts right leg to pop shoe off and tweaks/aggravates it. They tried talking it down after they showed that but damage had been done.
