As Tom Mars predicted, the Tenth Circuit does not like Preliminary injunctions. They have stayed the Colorado DC injunction pending appeal.

This means the sweeping grant of eligibility to all players in the class of '22 is no longer applicable. It does not affect the many state court cases granting eligibility injunctions, nor does it prevent more players from filing state court cases.

Plus, the Colorado federal case is not over. The injunction has been stayed for now.

Ok, can I ask…. What is up with our court system? 8th circuit, 10th circuit, 17th circuit??

I honestly feel like few rulings ever truly matter because some judge or circuit somewhere is going to overturn it a week later

It refers to federal courts. Mississippi has two district courts. Northern and Southern District. Appeals from there go to the 5th Circuit (which is Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas), appeals from there go to Supreme Court.

In this case it came from a district court in Colorado to the 10th circuit. It won't then go to some other circuit. It will just go up or back down within its own hierarchy.

All of which is totally different from the state and local courts.

Feels like this is another step towards the sec grabbing a few more teams and running its own show.

Brandon Sneh is still eligible for now. He was declared eligible by a Texas State Court.

The Plaintiffs' attorneys wised up after the Colorado Federal case, and these State judges are not only granting eligibility, they are also ordering a transfer portal, and preventing the NCAA from taking any action against the players or the schools who sign them and let them play.

It's got to stop somewhere or it will be 6, 7, 8, 9 years etc. I'm sorry for them but someone has to be the group where it ends.

What do you mean? Nothing's stopping. Everybody gets 5 years now.......except for these guys, who only got 4.

They should get their 5th year. There's literally no arguing otherwise, and the NCAA digging in on this and other similarly stupid stances is why they are irrelevant.

Ideally speaking, the COVID classes got all this extra stuff, the ones now get 5 for 5, and you are actively cheering against the one group getting screwed over?

Interesting

"Screwed over" is a harsh term. They got exactly what they were promised: 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility.

My bigger fear is what msudawg1200 said. The NCAA has to be able to set eligibility limits, since thats what distinguishes it from the NFL. The Colorado judge didn't expressly say this, but the reasoning she used would make any time/age based limits an antitrust violation.

Ok. What about me. I finished college in 1994. Do I get another year of eligibility? What about freshmen before 1971? They lost a year compared to those before them. Do they get another year? It's got to stop before it's to the point of absurdity which it's close to right now.

If you can help them win football games, I'm sure they'd be glad to have you.

But you're missing the point here. It's not really about this court ruling. It's the fact that the NCAA needlessly decided to screw one class.

It's doesn't matter, because next year no one will remember this stuff. The ones who truly want to play will get a state court injunction, play, and move on. And the NCAA won't fight it either, so it'll all get dropped.

The NCAA really is inexplicably stupid. I know decision making gets weird when you are essentially making it as a group, but how in the hell do you work yourself into a position of saying everybody gets 5 years to play 5, except for the class of '22. It would have made more sense to say that you get 5 years to play 5 starting with the class of 2026 (or 2027 if you wanted to give advanced notice). It's amazing to me what they lie down for and take, and what they decide is a hill worth dying on.

This one of the main reasons I commented in a thread yesterday about the fact that the OM trio has a court order in hand (while we seem to be sitting on our hands relying on a blanket order from a Colorado federal court). Other LSU players already have state court orders in hand as well. We get left behind by always trying to do the "right" thing.

I've been trying to figure out why they are taking a stand here. As I have said, I think they were going to get sued regardless of how they timed the implementation of the new rule, but this particular timing seems weird.

I seriously wonder if this is tied to trying to pass the Protect College Sports Act? If the NCAA wins these cases, then Congress is not the body causing chaos, so those objections to the Act are resolved. Since the NCAA is losing, they can scream that they need the protections of the proposed Act.

The best thing would have been to implement the new rule before the Class of 21 graduated. They would just be making the COVID rule permanent. But, that would have required forward thinking.

Looks like the UMiss TE who was in nfl training camp & is now eligible has entered the portal. We should get him.
