I think this means 4 year schools can now have more experienced players longer rather than a JUCO player being done after 2 years at a university.
The negative part is that more athletes will be left in the portal and less high school players getting scholarships.
Edit: Although, the football roster limit goes from 85 to 105, for schools that can afford it.
The positive is that the players without a chair after the game of NIL āduck duck gooseā can now go JuCo without losing their D1 4 year eligibility.
This is a BIG winā¦it essentially helps their supply/demand by encouraging a minor league for older/more developed players.
The NIL era is now as much about analytics as it is about $$ in BUILDING a competitive roster every yearā¦i hope the University of Houston is on the cutting edge side similar to the way the Houston Astros operate albeit a College Football version

Next, I am expecting a court to give college athletes unlimited eligibility.
A professional student athlete who takes one class per semester.

I think 5 years of eligibility will be next, as itās not a crazy idea. The rate of change has caught most of us by surprise. Being on the wrong side of a bet regarding college sports is easier than ever.

I donāt like it.
All athletes should get four years aside from redshirt or medical.
How is this fair to the kid that goes D-1 from the get go? Itās not.
And for those of you that donāt know Jucoās in general are an ugly mess and most of the time not beneficial for the kid.
Unless a kid does not have their academics in line I would stay away from Juco ballā¦.it is an ugly numbers game and 9 /10 times the kid gets screwed.

You answered your own question.
And thatās exactly why the court does not consider JUCO quality D-1 athletics. A lot of Texas high schools have better facilities, coaches and academic support than JUCOs.
It is fair since a D-1 athlete can go JUCO at any time and preserve his remaining 4 years eligibility.

Why would a D-1 athlete want to go Juco?
And letās keep this to football or basketballā¦.baseball has a certain advantage I wonāt bore you with.
If you answer is playing time then I have a problem with itā¦.so a kid that went D-1 is not getting playing timeā¦.well they can now enter the portal and find playing time at another D-1 school.
Why on earth would they transfer down to a Juco? That makes no senseā¦.if the answer is the competition is too much then I have to wonder how they were recruited D-1 to begin withā¦.And if that were the rare case then the kid should transfer to an FCS school where they can play as well as earn legitimate credits if they wanted to transfer back one day.
There is NO reason for a kid to be at a D-1 school and go Juco from a competitive standpointā¦.
The only reason I could see given is gradesā¦.which means they got to school, did not take care of business at all in the classroom and their only option is Jucoā¦ā¦thatās fineā¦.but if that is the case they have no one to blame but themselves and should not be allowed to preserve their D-1 future status.
That is ridiculous.

#JUCOBANDITS Yāall sweating my boys 
Iāve seen numerous JUCO Baseball Programs that can and do beat D1 programs like a rented mule. Itās all about the pitching
All kidding aside I kind of like the 5 year window others said. That would put player in the 22-24 yr old range. If youāre good enough move on to pro ball, if not join the rest of us working stiffs and move aside for the incoming HS graduates. This stuff of playing 7, 8 and 9 years in college is nuts

And then you have to account for the BYU players that do two year religious āMissions,ā come back after two years of weight training, growth, and development after knocking on doors, and then still have all their remaining eligibility.

If you ever watched Last Chance U, a lot of D-1 athletes that moved to JUCO, got in trouble at their D-1 school, and used that time in JUCO to repair their image for a second chance at D-1.
Remember, these D-1 guys are straight out of high school so most are still immature and some make dumb decisions that will affect their future.
The new ruling will help preserve their remaining eligibility if they get that second chance.

Can we just pull the band-aide and call it professional football.
It is going to be like baseball minor leagues.
You start out in rookie or A ball, and the conferences will be some variation of. AA and AAA.

Right, like I said grades, etc.
I have no problem with that and they still have the redshirt year.
But IMO whether a year or two years of juco that should count towards their total years of eligibility.
Just because they had issues and went to Juco to get straight should not mean they get six years totalā¦.whereas a kid that does things the right way and does everything they were asked to do gets four years.
