Absolutely nothing is concrete at this point. Been a weird year. A combination of April 1 start date and NIL Go and its compliances
Who really knows what regarding NIL Go? Are you aware of any proposed deals actually getting a response, and if so is it a simple go/no-go, or do they return a cap for a no decision? E.g., somebody submits a $100,000 proposed deal and they come back with no, $60,000 is the max we can justify?

It's still a thing. You just have to be a pretty stupid person to hit it.
Prop 48 is absolutely still a thing, but I don't think there is any enforcement at most institutions. It used to happen all the time - when prop 48 was first enacted there were 500+ D1 football and basketball players immediately deemed academically ineligible - but when was the last time you heard of a collegiate athlete being academically ineligible? I think everybody just accepts now, faculty included, that most athletes aren't there to school. And not surprisingly, this has leaked down to the high school level.

Just like players get paid, it was always a thing, but it's gotten more prevalent with NIL/transfer portal.

A J looks like an old woman as a Heavyweight. In Italian older women that look like AJ are called “Nonna”.
He is the problem and the solution is him not getting approval to continue embarrassing himself and any institution that grants him the opportunity to compete on their behalf. In the words of Nancy Regan “Just say No!”.

They accept or deny it. If it's denied you can take it to an arbitrator

Good one. We must rally to give a him new nickname. First that comes to mind is CVS Milk, but it’s too polished. HD^2 (Home Depot hot dog) is presented for your consideration. You’re pretty sure he’s a dick, you know you’ll regret it afterward, but at least he’s cheap.
Steveson called Albert "Ford Focus." We'll overthink things and not beat that.

I have no idea as to what AJ’s declared major was at Nebraska or at his previous schools. Even if was the same major at all of the schools, it is doubtful that all of the credits from the previous schools will count towards the same degree at the next school.
Double major, Instagram and emojis. With a Gym Bro minor.

It seems pretty clear from that statement that he was bounced, at least that is my interpretation. Thank you for your service but we are moving in a different direction next year

Please does anyone want me?

Skills = a traveling minstrel, who specializes in physical contortions rare for my size, an intense narcissistic ego, a penchant for embarrassment, erratic driving, and likely AA.

PS - AJ may be the poster child for why the NCAA needs a 5 years to play 4 role.

I am good with no more Oly redshirts just because of the example he set, not even attempting to qualify.

I'm OK with keeping the ORS with the condition that you don't get it if you don't even qualify for the trials. The limit of abusing the ORS privilege should be at what Facundo did, which was take a ORS to preserve a year of eligibility because he lost his starting lineup spot, but at least he used the year to focus on freestyle, qualify for, and wrestle at the trials. Taking an ORS to sort our your legal issues and harass your SA victim into dropping her charges is inexcusable and should never be allowed.

If you take an ORS and wrestle freestyle (or greco) and can't even qualify for the trials, your Olympic bid was unserious enough that you should have known before you started it. If you get injured in your ORS year and don't qualify for the trials for that reason, you can get the eligibility back through a medical redshirt (with proper medical documentation).
