TRINIDAD CHAMBLISS

Agree. I like the 5 years to play 4 seasons approach. Get redshirted or injured and you get another year. Heck, maybe even let someone who played all 4 years get a 5th year to make some more money but then you gotta go. This BS about junior college not counting cause it isn't NCAA needs to stop. It's still college and should count against the max eligibility. Right now Joey Aguilar is trying to get his 8th season in college. Ridiculous.

 

All these athletes are in college as long as doctors now.

And I don’t blame them one bit

Difference is they are barely getting a bachelor's degree.

 

I get that college football is technically a "pro sport" while players are getting paid, but there's no reason why someone who will be 25 years old before a college season starts should be granted eligibility. Personally, I think if you turn 24 before a season starts, you should be denied eligibility. I'd be fine waiving this clause if an athlete played a different professional sport and didn't go to college at all (like Chris Weinke did, or how JR Smith played college golf) but I'm not sure I give them all 4 years of eligibility. Maybe though. Idk.

 

Weinke was like 30 yrs old before it was cool to stay in college for 10yrs

 

Yeah, he was a pro baseball player before and never went to college. Did pretty well for himself at QB
