An Extra Year is Granted for all JuCo Players in NCAA

This will really limit how many kids out of high school get scholarships.

It took all of five days for the inevitable to become reality.

Last week, Diego Pavia was granted an injunction that allowed the soon-to-be-former Vanderbilt quarterback another year of eligibility on the grounds that the NCAA should not be allowed to count his two years at New Mexico Military Institute, a junior college, against his NCAA eligibility.

That ruling only applied to Pavia but the implication was obvious, and on Monday the NCAA Division I Board of Directors granted a blanket waiver to any athletes who attended a non-NCAA school to remain eligible for 2025-26 if they otherwise would have exhausted their eligibility in 2024-25.

It's bizzaro world

Kids not good enough to make it in the NFL can stay in college and make more than some NFL players in the NFL.

Can someone get control of this shipwreck? Elon? Trump? JMV? Anybody?

[R1Letterman]

Crazy, any particular special reason? Or is this forever....
Im old enough to remember when a cajun kicker lost eligibility just for going to junior college even though that college did not even have football.

And i believe a punter lost a year for playing a different sport in Australia at a higher level

What happens if someone plays 2 years at 4 year school and then transfers to the juco.
And what happens if the juco has no classes left that the upper divsion qualified student hasnt already taken?

Than he can’t be a student at the juco. Even in this day and age class enrollment is a requirement.

Whew.... but are you sure, what happens if he enrolls in classes he already has credit for, or other classes that are not on a degree path

I don't know.... is there requirement that an athlete is opursuing a degree or simoply be enrolled at the school?

Before you know it, NCAA will have unlimited time frame of eligibility.

Without eligibility requirements or caps to NIL.....there's no tangible difference between SEC/Big10 and NFL.
