This is likely to make a dramatic impact in basketball unless the appeal is handled quickly.

Actually, no one is making that program “screw over” anyone. That’s a choice.

Used to wonder why “Sh*t Show” Goodman caught so much flak but I think I finally understand. His recent Twitter battle with Darren Heitner has definitely shown what an ass he can be.

Yes so you can only realistically play for your former team, if I am understanding that correctly. Also age rules still apply.

So it’s getting on the phone with last year’s players that still haven’t found a home and haven’t aged out that is, if you want to.

Turns out the “news” that the Colorado ruling ordered a special transfer portal window for August 3-10 was a total fabrication.

MBB transfers required Apr. 7–21 portal entry unless a separate order applies.

If you’re young enough would it be smart to just take classes and work out for a year then be eligible next season?

Probably not. Per the NCAA:

Once the five-year period starts, it runs continuously and does not pause for transfers, non-participation, or sitting out.

Interesting observation.

The NCAA is in court right now arguing that the 2022 class has no right to a fifth year of eligibility.

The NCAA is also lobbying Congress to pass a bill that appears to say they do.

Section 113 of the Protect College Sports Act says a student athlete is eligible to compete for a maximum of five calendar years, starting when the athlete first enrolls full time or the academic year after turning 19, whichever comes first. The 2022 class enrolled in fall 2022. That makes 2026-27 Year 5. There is no transition carve-out in the bill excluding athletes who already used their fourth season in 2025-26. And Section 119 gives athletes a private right of action to sue if the NCAA, a conference, or a school fails to comply with that eligibility standard. For what it’s worth, I checked this against the latest 171-page floor version circulating to Senate offices this week, not the older public text. The eligibility framework is intact.

Only applies in Georgia but could be used as a template elsewhere.

Been trying to find a list of all of the players involved in the Georgia case. RJ Godfrey has already transferred from Clemson MBB to Arizona, while Jamichael Stillwell is going from UCF MBB to Texas Tech.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Chauncey Wiggins in a Niner uni but he’s probably staying in the P5.

BTW, there was supposed to have been an eligibility case in North Carolina today.
