New NCAA eligibility rules won't stop eligibility lawsuits, since the same issue remains: an athlete deemed ineligible on account of having been in college sports too long contends they are in a sports labor market where they sell athletic services to schools in exchange for NIL and revenue-share opportunities, and that schools want to buy their services and would offer them money but for the rule. The rule is subject to antitrust scrutiny, since it isn't collectively bargained and it excludes members of a labor workforce (who are also college students, but college students can be in a labor workforce; those two statuses are not mutually exclusive). The NCAA wins most of the cases but not all, so it can't enforce the same set of rules nationally. So some schools get a leg up over others by playing seasoned athletes who courts deem can play despite the rule. If this script sounds familiar, it is, and it has been playing out since 2024. sportico.com/law/analysis/2….

Division I Board of Directors on Monday directed the Division I Cabinet to advance an age-based eligibility concept that, if adopted in its current form, would permit student-athletes up to 5 years of eligibility beginning the regular academic year after they turn 19 or graduate from high school, whichever happens earlier. Under that model, Division I student-athletes would no longer be limited to only four seasons of competition within their five-year eligibility window.

@JonRothstein Those talking about waiting a year and how this will affect HS seniors is laughable. No HS senior was more jipped than the 22 class with the added covid year. If they wait a year then they’ll be jipped again


UPDATE: The NCAA DI Cabinet will hold a further discussion on age-based eligibility later today. This idea would essentially eliminate redshirts and give college athletes five years of eligibility starting when you graduate high school or when you turn 19. Whichever is earlier.








Don't look now but there's another Charlotte team doing well. The Charlotte 49ers, picked to finish last, have zoomed to the top of the AAC after Friday's win over Rice. Niners coach Aaron Fearne discussed #GoldStandard @CharlotteMBB

@jordan_do_1 is going to have an amazing season! @ArcherTigersFB @AHSTigersSports @AthleticsArcher
