Here's hoping it lasts through January!

 

[JCHateSteve]

Well that was fast.

Here's hoping it lasts through January!

What if he gets a ton of reps at Spring practice, and this ruling gets overturned ? Is everyone going to still love JA when we start the season with a qb that didnt even get spring practice reps?

Not gonna happen...

If this case gets settled in the next 12 months I'll be astonished. The courts move about as fast as your average glacier.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

As much as we would want this to happen, I hope it doesn’t.

It’s time to end this madness. Not only is he playing a career college QB. I think it sends a poor message to the QB locker room.

He won't be participating in spring practice, still rehabing from surgery.

 

[Section N Row 5]

Knoxnews says it was only a 15-day order. Not sure what that means long term.

"On Feb. 4, Chancellor Christopher Heagerty issued the 15-day order in Knox County Chancery Court."

I love Joey. I've got a buddy who golfs with him. He seems like a really great dude. I don't like this.

You've got G-Leaguers in CBB, guys playing 6-8 years in CFB...and the inevitable is coming in college baseball. Wait until the high schooler who took the draft money decides he doesn't like humping it in the minors for a few years and wants to come live like a king in college...

They haven't ruled on Pavia's yet and it has been over a year on it.

If anbody deserves another year it's Joey...

- 2 years of JUCO
- Screwed over at UCLA
- played 2025 with a tumor

Love what Joey did on the field last season but it’s time to move on to the younger QBs and develop them and get them ready for the 2026 season.

Disagree! It’s time we take advantage of all the loopholes just like all our rivals have been doing. This is a great opportunity and we should take advantage of it until the rules and enforcement change. GBO!

Awesome! He doesn't even have to win the lawsuit to play. He just needs the TRO to last through the 2026 season.

it still sends a bad message to the QB locker room

I understand the sentiment.

But unless you are in the locker room, it is speculation.

It is unlikely that this gets overturned.
It is more likely that it lasts through the season and then the case gets mooted.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

I don’t have to be a QB in the locker room to know I’d be upset thinking I was going to start and getting passed over.

Not even. It sends the message that bad or illegal NCAA rules will no longer go unchallenged.

 

[McDad]

You'll still get your chance to compete. If you aren't good enough, that's on you. Be upset with yourself.

 

[S.C. OrangeMan]

If you play backup to the previous year's starter, you didn't get passed over.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

It’s not a bad or illegal rule. It’s common sense that no one should play this long.

The younger guys can develop playing backup and getting hit less for another season.
