Big case today- athlete eligibility - Pavia vs NCAA

[Yoyo423]

Diego Pavia, NCAA to Dispute House Settlement in Eligibility Hearing

The hearing concerns the NCAA’s appeal of a ruling last December to grant Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia a preliminary injunction to play this fall.

www.sportico.com

The consequences of this case can be huge..Pavia is fighting for unlimited eligibility. The NCAA says the house settlement agrees to keep eligibility 5 years to play 4.

Not sure what college football will look like if Pavia wins.

"Pavia is a good example of a player who might want to remain a college athlete for as long as he can. Listed at 6-foot, Pavia would be relatively short for an NFL quarterback, who, USA Today has estimated, has an average height of 6-foot-3. But he has excelled for the Commodores and, now in his mid-20s, might be in his peak athletic years. Pavia is also knowledgeable at reading college defenses and has acquired other skills that come along with game experience. In June, Pavia revealed his market as a D-I football player: He said he was offered $4-$4.5 million by other colleges to transfer."

College football can weather just about any storm...Except this one.

A roster full of 28-29 yr olds who aren't good enough to go pro would be disgusting.

This would create basically 2 professional football leagues. I would argue a minor league and major league except that some of the players in the “minor” league would make more than the players in the major league.

I like it my guy. Never grow up.

This would effectively destroy high school football and recruiting.. Only the top 5% of HS players would end up getting football offers because the large majority of college kids that don't get drafted would just stay playing football as long as they can.

A perfect example would be Malachi Toney.

If Pavia wins, Restrepo would have stayed in college indefinitely. If Restrepo is on the team, does Toney even get a shot?

Come on

5 years is enough unless for medical hardships

Bar Milo has entered the chat.

IF Pavia wins this suit, the final boss litigation is "why do I even have to be an enrolled student to play for this team".

That is the ultimate goal.

We dealt with that in Canadian university football several years ago when I played (i.e., between 205 to 2012) the winning team at the time had an average age of 27 years old.

At the time the rule was you can use your 5 years of uni eligibility whenever, but the clock starts the moment you enroll. So if you enrolled when you were 25 you can play until you are 30. This was beneficial to Western Canadian since there was an still is CJFL (Canadian Junior Football League) which players can play until they are 25 years old, this is not connected to any school, it was a privately run "grassroots" league.

The rule since then has changed and now its you have 7 years to play 5 and the clock starts once you graduate from high school or after 2 years of CEGEP (Quebec Junior College which starts in grade 12, their high school ends in grade 11).

That even out the playing field and made high school football a lot stronger and focused the attention back to developmental football as well as recruiting high school players again.

I would put curriculum and grade restrictions. If someone is a full-time Grad Student and working towards making themselves better off the field and is in very good GPA standing within their potential field who am I to judge if they want to play sports?

Because grown 30 year old men shouldn't be taking away opportunities from 18 year olds. Plenty of amateur leagues exist for this reason.

College football is changing. We are in an NIL and Transfer Portal era. Grown men have the right to make money and play college athletics as long as they are in good standing and educating themselves. I see no problem with it.

This is dumb as ****. Typical SEC idiot leading the way to idiocracy.

This is college football's version of the 20something year old who still lives in their parent's basement and sees no need to have a career or his own place because Mommy and Daddy have money.
We've had many mid-20 something year old participate in college athletics in the past, especially during era of military draft and currently with the Mormon athletes who go on missions, but this is ridiculous.

Look, it is actually a better investment for Programs.
College players need proof of concept and experience to get the big NIL deals within this type of dynamic. We would probably see less of Nicholaus Iamaleava types of situations where an over-hyped kid from highschool gets big NIL money and then fails miserably. There will be more experienced QBs and players overall that will be able to transfer in and start immediately and get those NIL deals.
Colleges should love this.
