Should NCAA College Eligibility Rules be enforced?
Posted on 3/6/26 at 4:56 am

Virginia QB Chandler Morris Sues NCAA in Pursuit of Seventh Year of College Eligibility. Maybe this seventh year is just a little bit excessive.
Judicial system has become the arbitrator of fact in damn near every aspect of our lives. It is worse than Mississippi Kudzu... Or Louisiana mosquitos.

The NCAA needs to go to a straight 5 years of eligibility. No red shirts, no exceptions. If you are healthy and willing, you can play all 5 years. Get hurt one of them, oh well. Bounce from division 2, go juco, to the SEC, still 5 years. Period, no exceptions.
For every 25 year old trying to squeeze one more year out of college, there is an 18 year old who loses his dream of playing college sports.

Should be five years max; no exceptions, Getting way out of control. Limit transfer portal nonsense, as well.

NCAA would love to limit portal migration and eligibility to 5 years, but they can’t win in court in any of these cases. The Supreme Court essentially clipped their nuts and they have no shot unless some governing body helps them or the players collectively bargain with them.

I have no issues with legit medical redshirts. The NCAA needs to modify the rules to require application for the waiver within 1 year of the end of the season for which you take the medical redshirt.

frick it, it's all screwed anyway at this point. Hell let a washout from the NFL come back so he can stack that NIL $.

By and large playing college football in the NIL era is way more lucrative than whatever most of these non NFL level CFB players will be doing post college ball. They’re going to keep fighting it and it’s going to get more and more ridiculous.
I think the easiest path is to just make it a blanket period of time with no red shirt exceptions. Otherwise it’s going to have the downstream impact of a lot of incoming college athletes that could’ve played college sports in their normal college years also having to wait until their 20s pushing things back again.

That is correct

It SHOULD, but lawyers and judges will frick it all up.

None of what you said it true though. NIL is certainly not a placeholder.
There are no rules that say a kid can stay in school as long as they want.
They are not employees.

At some point, the schools themselves need to say, "Want to come back for a 7th year at age 25, you enroll, pay your tuition, books, etc, pass classes, and you can play."
So basically, no athletic scholarships for those types of athletes. They have to pay their own way, and then they're more than welcome to collect whatever 3rd party NIL is offered to them. Or Get Gordon can pay their tuition if he wants.

Technically, a kid CAN stay in SCHOOL as long as he/she wants, as long as they keep paying tuition. Make these 7th year types pay their own way.

The schools want to win, and if a 25 year old man can help them win then there is zero chance they do this.
This is 100% on the NCAA to fix. This one is actually a pretty easy fix too. But its the NCAA, so they will screw it up.

if he didn't have an actual legit "hardship" that forced him to miss time, correct.
college sports was never intended to be "stick around as long as you want or until you're as good as you want"

Obviously when I say, "stay in school" I mean stay eligible to play sports. They can't do that. As much as they are finding loop holes and bending rules to extend that, there are still rules that prevent you from playing college sports forever.

The gray areas of defining stuff is where the NCAA is getting pushed around.
5 years to play 5, clock starts the day you finish high school, removes 100% of the issues. It removes the ability to go play basketball overseas and then return. It removes the situation of the 4th string being "hurt."
