Knew this was coming.......lawsuit to challenge age-based restrictions in NCAA led by Xavier player

Don’t worry. The only rule that will eventually exist is that you are eligible to play as long as you are not actively on an NBA roster. Past or future doesn’t matter. No limits.

Well they are state laws and BTW how will byu maneuver when their athletes go on missions

There is a stipulation that religious missions do not count.

That’s why the only hope is… federal legislation, like it or not.

I think that would also lead to a ton of lawsuits.

Legislation leads to lawsuits almost always. Those challenges relate to things like vagueness and constitutionality and it is the job of the courts to solve those issues.

However, passed legislation is significantly stronger than the actions or rules of an agency like the NCAA. It is considered the public policy of the USA.

There will be challenges.

There may be clarifications.

For example, the aspects of the bill meant to harness the SEC and Big 10 from splintering, could face a significant challenge, but the challenge relates to that aspect of the bill.

If this federal legislation is passed, it is a huge deal and will go far toward resolving many of the key issues. To me, the 5 years of eligibility, limited anti trust exemption and 1 free transfer provisions, solve alot of issues on their own.

And what solution would not lead to a ton of lawsuits? At least congressional action would carry the force of federal law. Anyone can sue but much higher standard to win. Anyone thinking that players or schools would agree to collective bargaining is dreaming.
