An Extra Year is Granted for all JuCo Players in NCAA

[Jacob81]

Pavia is a game changer. Hard to tell if he has enough ability to do it against tougher competition. I know he can’t beat the Cajuns by himself.

This is quite a situation, juco years don’t count against D1 eligibility. A player can go to juco 2 years, play, and then play 4 years D1.

Only applies to Pavia until the court date. I don't quite understand his argument. He wasn't good enough to play D1 at first so he goes JUCO. Now that he can make NIL money in D1, he wants an extra year just because he wants it.

It's all about the NIL money and maximizing eligibility as a DI athlete to take advantage of the cash cow. If the lawsuit ultimately comes out in Pavia's favor then you have to wonder what other legal challenges will be made to protect those precious 4 years of NIL... sorry I mean D1 eligibility. People keep saying NIL has broken college football and it needs to be fixed. Sorry folks, the inmates are running the asylum now and efforts to implement structure and fix this system are in the hands of judges now.

….Gotta love the USA! Break out all the Juco recruiting files, there are some serious players with 2 more years to play and NIL rules I guess are in play!

Kids aren’t the problem. It’s the adults who caused this.

This is all an overcorrection for the years that the ncaa screwed up.

From ambulance chasers to NIL agents...it's an evolution!

They're going to kill the 4-years of eligibility rule, aren't they?

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

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.
