if 5 in 5 is approved (and I hope it's not) then he can just play. He doesn't need to sue. But in a few years Tennessee's next 5'9 PG will be suing to play six in six (or seven, or eight) and then what?
You get four years in college. It's COLLEGE. Five years as a victory lap as a wayward...
Do you really think some guy who plays four full years, and then gets hurt 20 games into year 5, won't sue for a sixth year? And the NCAA and the courts will then grow a spine a turn him down?
We'll have guys with three PhDs averaging a triple-double at age 29
Sad it if happens. College is a four year deal. The redshirt year makes sense. But giving five full years will just deprive athletes of opportunities. It will inevitably morph into guys getting 6-7 years (it already has).
Sorry. You get 4 years to play. Covid was a special one off situation and any records set with that fifth year have a massive asterisk.
Let's not destroy college athletics. If not five, why not six, seven, ten? This is silly.
Maybe time heals all wounds, but in retrospect I do believe Lane when he said USC was the one job in the country he would've left Tennessee for. It was probably a top 3 job nationally when Carroll left (before we knew about the NCAA hammer being dropped on them)
Even if that's the case, you still have to communicate with your coaches. Nico handled this in an incredibly unprofessional manner, and when you're making $2M plus, like it or not, you are expected to behave professionally.
Judging by the reaction on Twitter, he just made himself the most hated athlete in college sports. When everyone is taking Tennessee's side, you know it's bad
