SEC Follows the Big Ten here with NFL players. A twist — the SEC adds pro basketball, too.

Tons of people smarter than you and more in the know say one thing but “derr you hurt my feelings so I’m going to post ai google slop” is not a good comeback nor actually evidence or proof.

so

For the love of god man shut up why do you want Mitchell to be ineligible so bad?
I don't think he wants Mitchell ineligible he is trying to figure it out. It changes hour to hour.

I think we need to think about this from a class of 2022 stand point. The NCAA unfairly is trying to bar the class of 2022 from doing 5&5 while every other class will get. So the class of 2022 under the assumption that there was no 5th year signed pro contracts as any smart individual would do with no other option. Now the NCAA is being petty even though they know the only reason 2022 guys signed pro deals is because they didn’t know they could go back

They need to allow all 2022 seniors no matter if they signed or not. And then ban it from ever happening again

Also Unless every conference bans these players than All those players will still be eligible under unfair rules and competition .

pretty much don’t see this sticking in anyway and it’s an awfully stupid hill for NCAA to die on
They had to put the cutoff somewhere .

But that’s the only year since before Covid that players didn’t have at least 5 years to play I believe. Could be wrong about that but they should have just grandfathered them in and saved face and not have to deal with the self inflicted headache.

I saw a quote that said, "college sports are for college athletes."

So I guess if they're enrolled in a college they're technically a "college athlete."

Should be a fun few weeks of courts and lawyers and stuff.

Didn’t they allow players at Baylor and Bama last year? That’s a precedent the SEC will have to defend in court.
No. The NCAA declared him ineligible and was overruled by a court with an injunction which allowed him to play. Another court subsequently ruled differently upon appeal and Bediako was done.

What exactly does the SEC find itself needing to defend here?

LSU is out of control. It needs to be addressed. Having guys suiting up for NFL rosters in the preseason returning to college is nonsense. Same holds true for basketball guys.

Isnt the Ole Miss QB this year playing under a Court order? It is hard to keep up.
