This just came across my feed and I didn't know whether to put this in the Playoff/Bowl thread or start a separate thread. My reaction is "Lawsuit coming in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . ." Curious to know what others think and how NCAA will justify this given previous decision regarding Pavia. I know there are differences in the cases, but I will be curious to see how the NCAA teases out those differences and what the final decision will be.
 

My understanding is:

His argument is that in his 2nd year (at another school) he was dealing with some health issue (2022).

NCAA says that the rules say he should have made that argument at that time and submitted the evidence of it then to argue for a red shirt, way back in 2022. Not years later.

NCAA also says the paperwork that he did submit in 2025 that was from 2022 says he was doing fine and he had no documented treatment for the "respiratory issue" problem he argues he had.

I'm inclined to side with the NCAA.

So he redshirted and then played 3 years at Ferris State then transferred to Ole Miss for what was his 4th active year, 5th overall. Seems fair to me. 5 years, played 4, time to move on. But of course here we go with yet another lawsuit in college athletics because that is all college athletics is anymore is one lawsuit after another.

What I read as well.

And the situation with Pavia was different, he challenged the rule in court.

So what do you do when Eric Curry does his knee all five of those years

Probably time to do something else? We don't let high school kids play until they're 21 just because they have injuries. There should be a standard timeframe so we don't have 6th or 7th year players dominating the college game IMO. Carson Beck is from the same recruiting class as CJ Strout and Bryce Young.

would 100% be in favor of this. Injuries suck. I get it. We don't let you have a mulligan anywhere else other than college ball for injuries (pro, tough luck; kiddos, tough luck; sweet spot in college, well let's just not count that one)
Clock starts after HS graduation. would be thrilled to see this come to hockey as well

It's all getting out of hand. Just give everyone 5 years no matter what and call it a day. No more redshirts.

If you give them 5 then they’ll sue for 6 if there is a health issue

Giving everyone 5 won’t stop the lawsuits
