Technically - the ruling only applies to Diego Pavia. Though it sets a pretty big precedent that's sure to be exploited.

The reality is, Wizzmaster knew he wouldn't make it in the NFL so he wanted to stick around to get an extra year of NIL money before hitting the workforce. If this becomes a "thing" (which it inevitably will), JUCO football would hypothetically function like junior hockey - a sub-college preparation level.

It doesn't set binding precedent at all. It's persuasive at best.

I think regurgitating is about 99% of this board, so you're good.

I'm good at it, that's for sure.
