In response to a recent legal ruling the NCAA has implemented a temporary eligibility waiver for JUCO athletes. Here are the key points:

Who It Affects: The waiver applies only to current or former JUCO athletes whose eligibility was set to expire. These athletes are being granted one additional year of eligibility.Who It Does Not Affect: Incoming JUCO players (e.g., high school seniors entering JUCO this fall) are not included in this waiver.
These new JUCO athletes will follow the standard eligibility rules as outlined by the NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association)Why This Matters: The waiver allows eligible JUCO athletes to extend their college playing careers. It also impacts how four-year college programs recruit from the JUCO transfer pool, particularly for the 2025–2026 seasons.

This ruling is not a permanent rule change and is currently only applicable for the 2025 season in light of the legal case.

Yeah I misunderstood the ruling. I thought it was similar to COVID and JUCO didn’t count against eligibility. I’m honestly glad that’s not what it is. Because it’s getting a little excessive with the 7th and 8th year players

Seriously, watching GMac was like watching what happens to us when a back up QB comes in to play. It was nice seeing that for our team. My dude is a baller at that young age. He didn't seem to be nervous at all. He packs on another 25 lbs before next season and he may be the "one".

Oh he will be #1...No doubt. Merk will be #2 or transfer. Mr. Brandon will get a year under his belt. My magic 8 ball told me.

If George wins the starting job next year Faizon won’t be here in 2027. Unless George is forced out because they like Faizon better, and that just doesn’t seem like a shuffle Heupel would want to gamble on if George plays well and we make the playoff. Unless George gets a massive NIL offer from another school after balling out and we choose to not match it because they’re confident in Faizon after a redshirt year

Gmac is awesome. Pretty cool he’s the grandson of the late former Vandy HC G. MacIntyre too. Promising talent after Aguilar departs.

He can ball. Great youngin. We need to give him more cornbread and PBnJ sammiches to pack on that weight.

Yep, it was noted all camp that he was the better thrower of the football than the other 2 QB's. Future is bright on Rocky Top!
