Aguilar / Chambliss 6th Year Eligibility

5 years after you graduate from any secondary school. Stops at prep, Juco, Dollar General, WWE, or ANYWHERE all the same. Time is up. Don’t like it go to NAIA.

But it is not presently 5 for 5. It is 5 to play 4.and then appeal a bunch.
Jackson Ross, our punter, is 26 and still has a year left, I think. It's not like we care.

If you think the NCAA can tell guys who haven't used eligibility that "they have been out of HS too long to play" you haven't been watching any of the antitrust lawsuits.

The arguments are: the NCAA cannot manipulate the market to prevent players from earning NIL. The NCAA loses every time and would lose the "but you've been out of high school too long" case also because there's absolutely no basis for that kind of limit or a transfer limit or NIL limit except "that makes our business work better for us."
 
Still ridiculous but I guess that’s SOP for college football in this new era.
I don't think this will be the norm going forward. once you get rid of all the players that started playing in 2020 there will be no more "free" covid year. it will go back to being 5 years of eligibility if you're a redshirt senior.

Agree and I think the NCAA was honestly trying to make it to this year without any fuss and let the extra years just drop off.

I can see them saying "OK, Pavia, Aguilar, etc al., yiu get this year and no more. No one else beyond this year. This will not be precedent moving forward.".

Now whether that sticks or can be defended, we'll find out.

They can't do that. They'll be sued and they will lose because Joey and the others are suing to say JUCO years don't count, NCAA can't say ok Joey you get one more year and no one else can. They already set the precedent
 
Chambliss case is simple as he is claiming medical redshirt year. That isn't what Aguilar is doing.
Chambliss was trying to change his first year to a medical redshirt, then use his 2nd season where he played 2 games as a redshirt season. The NCAA said medical evidence sufficient to grant a medical redshirt wasn’t provided thus they ruled against him.

Pavia’s case is in the courts saying NCAA doesn’t apply to jr college since they don’t control it. The NCAA granted an extra yr to those impacted last year instead of fighting in court. I don’t know how this will turn out.
 
Edit:

Sorry, not a hearing, just a meeting. A meeting has been set for Joey's case this Monday, per the Tennessean.
Who is the meeting with? NCAA and lawyers? I didn't think there would be a hearing this soon but figured we'd be closer to knowing if the judge is going to grant an injunction or not

Yes, NCAA and lawyers. Don't think anything is expected, but you never know.

If that's the case, that's like the NCAA claiming to be a little bit pregnant.

The door is either open or shut, and now it's open.

Pavia's play this year was the COVID free year which everyone got except JUCO guys.

That's different than JUCO doesn't count at all.
 
Yes, sorry. Both sides are meeting with the Judge. But it's not a hearing. I don't think any sort of decision is expected unless the NCAA just folds on the issue.
I thought the feeling was that the meeting sets up the judge with information to issue an injunction or not issue an injunction?

Joey doesn't need to win the case outright or have the NCAA fold right now but an injunction would assure he can play next year, I think.

Am I getting that wrong?

I agree with your post!
SO, Why doesn't DW tell the NCAA to F+++ Off and JA is going to be our QB in 2026??
