No redshirts, no waivers. Even medical redshirts are gone.

Rule is you have 5 years, that's it. You get injured? Thems the breaks. Only exemptions are pregnancy, religious mission, or military service. That's it.

Clock starts when you enroll, or on your 19th birthday. From that point you get 5 years and then you are done.

This is the way, I am all for it.

Let's see how it holds up and what loopholes they can find.

That is the nice thing, no loopholes. Unless you consider going on a religious mission or serving your country a loophole.

Of course, I guess if a woman wanted to extend ger time she could just keep getting knocked up lmao

Sounds good until the lawyers & courts get involved!

That's the beauty of these new rules...Nothing to reaĺly argue in court. They were designed so the lawyers couldn't argue or sue for special treatment.

That said I do think there will be an initial lawsuit, but mainly for the kids already in school who want to be under the old rules and not the new ones. They'll probably argue they should be grandfathered.

Also I am sure there will be antitrust lawsuits. Because lawyers want ever damn inch... this is why the NCAA has beeen lobbying Congress hard to grant them antitrust exemptions (like the NFL). The legislation Southern posted about a few days ago would do so.

Sorry to clarify... I meant that initially there will be lawsuits over the policy in general, but once instituted and accepted there is nothing to sue over regarding player eligibility

The lawsuits already have started...15 basketball players are suing so I am sure football is to follow any day now...My belief is they will lose in court...I think this is a great rule...

Does anyone know if Rocco, redshirt senior, gets another year under the new eligibility rules? Or is his five years up?
