If Pavia won his case can Joey be back for next year?

No he won’t be back and honestly it’s better if he isn’t. We need Merk or GMac to take the helm and show vast development.
You’re mad. I’d take Joey in a heartbeat. Merk is lost. After watching this offense sputter for two years, it’s working like a machine again. A big part of that is Joey.

The answer is yes, if Pavia wins, he will have another year of eligibility. Pavia is suing on the basis that JUCO time shouldn't take away from the time a player can earn money playing Div 1/FBS football. The NCAA doesn't control JUCO or have anything to do with it. JUCO football isn't NCAA football so they are arguing it shouldn't affect your time playing D1. The NCAA quickly did the waiver because they lose in court constantly.
I like this arguement

In before the “let’s just focus on this year” crowd but it’s worth asking:
Can JA come back to the Vols and play next year? Wasn’t Pavia’s case based on eligibility since he also played at junior college before moving to a Power 4 program?

the Moore case in Indiana is the case which allows JA to return if he desires. Assuming the case is finalized through appeals. It allows any junior college player to NOT count the years at JC against the 5 year eligibility rule. Meaning a player can spend 3 years at a JC and then still have 5 years to play at a 4 year school...

Very good point

Asked and answered numerous time...The ruling was not a permanent rule change and only applicable for the 2025 season.
Until they're sued again for the 2026 year. Some will say JUCO time shouldn't count as it's not NCAA or D1
Honestly it's a fair point but a counter point could be that you can take classes in JUCO that transfer to a 4yr

With all this QB portal talk. It makes me wonder if the bigger schools move their focus and money towards getting QB's through the portal rather than spending $1.5 mil on a freshman QB and using that money towards other positions of need or on positions that 5* freshman could potentially start day 1.
Kinda moving to the grab an experience ready to play QB rather than one you have to coach up and not know what you have.

has anyone sued for 2026 PT? NCAA's appeal ruled moot.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A federal appeals panel on Wednesday dismissed the NCAA’s eligibility case against Vanderbilt University quarterback Diego Pavia, who is playing this season under a preliminary injunction.

“The NCAA gave Pavia exactly what he wanted — a waiver that guaranteed he could play for Vanderbilt in 2025,” Thapar wrote. “Because that waiver provides Pavia complete relief at the preliminary-injunction stage, we dismiss the NCAA’s appeal as moot.”

Tim Buckley, the NCAA’s senior vice president of external affairs, pointed to the SCORE Act with bipartisan support in Congress along with the backing of athletes from all three divisions.

“The SCORE Act is the only bill in Congress that would protect the NCAA’s longstanding academic eligibility rules — ensuring high school athletes get an opportunity to play in college,” Buckley said.

The Judge issued an injunction allowing Moore to play this season but the ruling didn't force the NCAA to award Moore or JUCOs eligibility beyond the 2025 season.

Yeah, I just expect appeals or whatever process to try to eliminate JC eligibility for all. May not fly but expect someone to pursue.

I wasn’t real detailed in my posting
