NCAA Being Sued Over Eligibility Limits

[xubrew]

I felt this one would come sooner or later. And, here it is. Vanderbilt’s QB is suing the NCAA for limiting the number of seasons he can play as a JUCO transfer. He is saying it is limiting his opportunity to make money off of NIL.

I don’t know if he has a case or not. What I do know is that the NCAA is not prepared for this in the same way they were not prepared for all of the anti-trust lawsuits. Will the courts rule that the NCAA has no right to declare anyone ineligible?? Then what? Can players play for 5 years? 6 years? 10 years? Will they not even have to be enrolled at the school at all in order to be eligible to play??

Will there be another lawsuit similar to the House Case that involves players who exhausted eligibility and could have kept playing had they been allowed to? And/or that were declared ineligible?

And, before anyone says “No, that can’t happen,” you need to realize that YES IT CAN!!!!! The NCAA’s approach to all the previous anti-trust lawsuits was “No, that won’t happen.” And, that’s one of the reasons they’ve lost control of everything and we’re in the mess that we are.
