Latest Ruling Could Kill High School Recruiting for Good

College coaches sound off on type of impact Pavia's ruling will have on future of college athletics

Nope. It doesn’t ignore that. Colleges would still be free to not acquire these jucos, and instead choose another prospect (like high school).

His comment implies high school players should have priority on scholarships (contracts), and even the small loss in the number of high school players getting those, due to the relatively few 7th year guys, is “horrible for high school prospects”. Both notions are ridiculous.

What about 9th year guys?

The case pretty much makes itself.

There isn't another 'job' on the planet that requires you to meet simultaneous academic requirements.

The NCAAs years and years of ignoring things and not being proactive are coming home and they have no idea how to adapt.

RAs and TAs are required to be graduate students.

RAs and TAs are required to be graduate students.

And graduate school in itself can be a quasi-job/academic program

College Sports Law Expert Says NCAA Could Lose Ability To Limit Eligbility​

“The more college sports resembles pro sports, the harder it will be to restrain how long college athletes can play,” famed sports law expert Michael McCann tweeted. “So long as their school puts them in a full time degree program, there’s now a good legal argument they should remain NCAA eligible.”

In a world where college athletes have officially been deemed athletes by the National Labor Relations Board, they can argue that the NCAA has no right to restrict their income based on age or time spent in college. Athletes could argue, likely successfully, that so long as they are enrolled in school, they fit the definition of a college athlete.

The outcome has the potential to completely blow up the college sports world as we know. In theory, this all gets fixed either via congress or a collective bargaining agreement at some point. But if it does not, college sports may soon look nothing like what we all remember.

I wonder if a basketball team like uconn last year, could keep that roster together for a decade.

Yep, the writing has been on the wall for this for awhile.

Hell, maybe players can come back and play once their pro career winds down.

The way the rulings have gone, this is a possibility.

This will be huge for JUCO baseball.

Wrestling could take advantage of this too. The sport has trended into using "Greyshirt" years. I'm thinking Dresser can recruit them to DMACC and have them practice with the Cyclone Regional Training Center guys.
