Question to Discuss

Not sure if this has been brought up, but I am wondering how long it is before a player challenge the college football rule regarding four years of eligibility. For years they pushed the notion of amateurism as a means of not letting players make money. This was clearly an arbitrary notion that the courts rejected. My question is why 4 years of eligibility? Is that any less arbitrary than amateurism? One might point to it often taking 4 years to graduate but how relevant is that? Some take less some take more. And the NCAA regularly grants more years—Cam McCormick has gotten nine years! Couldn’t someone like Dillion Gabriel, who likely won’t be an NFL QB but is a good college one who can make good NIL, challenge the eligibility rule in court and claim it unfairly prevents him from making a living? Curious what people think about this.

The staff has made him the top priority - as have some peers - for this class and it looks like the efforts may pay some dividiends as there is some growing thoughts that the Ducks might be able to npull off a MASSIVE flip. This one is still early and not yet ready for an article. But keep this in mind as we think it could be something very real coming here.
