When I was talking about NIL prior to the NCAA completely caving on the issue, this was one of my predictions.

Players would start suing over eligibility to try to continue earning NIL money. It was inevitable once you introduced NIL, and there is a logic to it. If you are just treating them as employees, then who has a right to tell them they can only have this job for a set number of years?

This is what happens when you destroy what it means to be an amateur athlete...

That is why the sport needs a union and CBA. It is the only way to implement rules that everyone has to follow.

so he thinks his JUCO time shouldn't count and his redshift year shouldn't count so how many more years does he think he "deserves"?
I read he wants at least the 12 years Thurston Bennett VIII had at Georgia. He thought pressing for 25 years and gold watch like Hunter Renfrow got at Clemson was little much.

According to this article from ESPN, the judge essentially said, “Son, you’ve known about this rule for a long time. You don’t get to loop the regular legal system simply because you just now figured out it’s a problem for you. Continue your legal fight if you wish, but no special favors.”


Ruling from the chief judge in the federal court with jurisdiction over the Middle District of Tennessee. IOW, he has no small amount of clout.

Mrs. Basket Case was an attorney, but not a litigator. Still, she says that the denial of a TRO often indicates that the ruling judge has serious questions as to whether the plaintiff will ultimately prevail on the facts as presented.

IOW, this is not a final ruling, but doesn’t augur well for young Mr. Pavia’s case.
