Coaches on the new challenges of building a college roster

Coaches grapple with the question of who gets a roster spot, amid eligibility rules -- and their domino effect.

With respect to our international guys, or any others, how can the NCAA possibly deem them not eligible this season if the “updated guidelines” went into effect in mid-May, after kids already committed and after the portal and recruiting WS open for a month and a half?

I get applying the guidelines prospectively. But I don’t understand how you can do that midstream post-commitments.

Everything is so unorganized. There are hundreds of kids suing for a 5th year of eligibility. The courts are going to rule them all eligible so don't know how the NCAA can keep them out. How do you deal with that as a player? How does a coach building a roster deal with it?

As a coach, will you have roster space and money to give to these guys?
As a player, do you enroll in school and hope to be ruled eligible?
And what about the players who are going to be dropped from their school or lose their starting spot to these guys?

I’m getting pretty sick of hearing or seeing or reading about college coaches complain about how screwed up or difficult their jobs are

1. They were a massive part in creating this problem
2. They are paid an insane amount of money for 30+ games and most of
Them are atrocious in game coaches or
Skill developers..they are used car salesmen or travel “go-go” coaches on steroids..they should be happy they have employment
3. If it’s that bad quit and coach high school or d3 or professional ranks

This is just so exhausting..I don’t care how hard their job is now that kids have lots of juice..deal with it and win

Didn’t suggest he is a choir boy, but there are multiple examples of coaches that didn’t want to deal with this nonsense.

These kids are no longer students of a university. They are paid employees of the university who can come and go as they wish.
