JA granted temporary restraining order against NCAA eligibility rules

[Volfan76]

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."

It means he can go ahead and get started with classes and attend training workouts. Also a very good indicator of how this will play out for the year.

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?

That man doesn't go to class lol

 

[S.C. OrangeMan]

lol, I’m not, just because you aren’t going to change my mind isn’t me throwing a tantrum.

Perhaps, by your logic, you are.

That fails every test if fact and logic.
You can't provide a single objective fact to support anything you say here.

You have zero credibility here.

 

[S.C. OrangeMan]

That man doesn't go to class lol

Ever heard of online classes?
It is 2026 the last time I checked.
He has to take at least 9 semester hours or he can't play.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

I wanted to move on simply because JA's performance continues to include game affecting critical turnovers. That didn't change last year.

He had a tumor, dude.

 

[UTodd01]

He had a tumor, dude.

In his throwing arm at that.

It's definitely 2026 and none of these guys go to class especially the graduates.

This thing might be over!

JA Granted Restraining Order

lol it’s basically judges ruling of 15 days to get the case together.

 

[volfan102455]

More than likely a lot of students take online classes these days.

When I was there - there were some classes we could watch on TV later lol - things have changed.

So where does this end? It seems hypothetically, a guy could play college football as long as they want to if we're basing on the fact that the players is being denied a way to make an earning. Where is that line?

 

[UTodd01]

Uh...no.

It's a granted restraining order giving JA eligibility until the injunction hearing.

...and the argument next Friday for both sides will be the same so expect the same outcome.




....lol

Read the judges comments for the TRO.
15 days is pretty much giving the NCAA time to lay out their counter argument to watch the judge has stated in his TRO. Going to be hard for the NCAA to beat the point 1.
The real case will be after the season unless the NCAA gives up before then.

That’s fine. You’ve already said that. I disagree with your points.

The basis of this isn't so much the earning money as a whole because no one is guaranteed a job, it's that JUCO years shouldn't count and since JUCO shouldn't count they are be denied earnings because of that.

[TheVolsFrog]

I think we all pretty much knew he had enrolled in some classes so that he could play pending the outcome of his suit. If it didn't go his way he would just drop out.

 

[vols-1]

Interesting, but I feel like college football would be better without Judges.

So you embrace delusions? The APA Manual has a category for that sort of thing. Hint: It is not a complement.

It shouldn't. There should be no restrictions. Anyone who wants to play should be able to play. If the idea is schools can't restrict anything - and the courts are very clear that they can't - then all roads eventually lead to a completely commercial product that has no relation to the schools. Anyone should get to play for as long as they want. And the up-and-coming students who play football can pound sand. The whole "creating opportunities for young people" thing is gone. The mission of providing experiences for student-athletes is gone.

The people who love this new era don't want to touch that, either. They know where this ends. But they want to pretend it's not going to happen.

 

[hUTch2002]

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

Is stuckinbama going to be our QB?

The basis of this isn't so much the earning money as a whole because no one is guaranteed a job, it's that JUCO years shouldn't count and since JUCO shouldn't count they are be denied earnings because of that.

The question is what rules the NCAA can make about eligibility which are not "unreasonable" and the JUCO question is probably a win as "unreasonable."

The bigger question is this being stretched as a precedent into..... should D3 or D2 count? Is that reasonable? Is 5 years a reasonable limit to get a degree? Is 6? Is 8? Is that reasonable?

The Supreme Court said "reasonable" curbs on the market were acceptable for the NCAA to use and didn't violate Antitrust Law.

Defining "reasonable" didn't work well with NIL amounts and rules.

Defining "reasonable" didn't work well with transfer restrictions and rules.

I don't envision defining "reasonable" to work well with eligibility restrictions and rules either.

Why should there be a line? A friend of mine is in law enforcement. He has an undergrad degree and three masters degrees from 4 different universities.

Age or time limits don't govern his ability to go to school, to transfer, and don't affect his multiple academic scholarships. Why should athletics be any different?

The NCAA rule against it are arbitrary, capricious, and based on the NCAA "amateurism" sham. We know how that has worked out for them.
