NCAA Being Sued Over Eligibility Limits

[xubrew]

I don't know much about JUCO so help me understand this. Is JUCO not under the NCAA umbrella and so that's the argument? I'm trying to wrap my head around how this argument was won? Nevermind I answered my own question....I missed the part of the article where it said JUCO isn't under the NCAA, so i get it lol. Carry on!

In short, the rule has always been that a player is allowed to play four seasons in five years. Whether it was NCAA, NAIA, JUCO, or whatever. Two seasons in JUCO meant you only had two seasons left. This judge is saying no. A season in JUCO does not count as a season, so you can play two JUCO seasons and play four more NCAA seasons on top of that. This would be a massive change if it is upheld.

It also opens the door for more lawsuits. Will there now be a class action suit filed by everyone who played in JUCO and now feels they should have been able to play two more years.
