The discussion this morning surrounding Dae'Quan Wright's potential return to college football was so ridiculously ignorant about the issues regarding the litigation. I felt so much second-hand embarrassment for Craig and George that I switched over to a podcast after the first five minutes.

---

I'm probably more ignorant than they are. What did they get wrong?

In June, the NCAA changed its eligibility rules to a "five for five" clock giving players five years to play five years of sports (essentially doing away with redshirts). Fourth year players entered the NFL draft without knowing a fifth year of eligibility would soon be passed. Everyone (including the NCAA) knew that these court cases would come as soon as the rule was passed. Essentially, the rule change gave players grounds to at least get a TRO through the courts.

None of these players (to my knowledge) is challenging the eligibility rules agreed to by the NCAA. They're just alleging disparate treatment under the NCAA's rules. It's not the start of players (as Craig alleges) jumping back and forth from the NCAA to NFL and back again.

Do I like that it's happening? Not really. Is it an invalidation of NCAA ability to set eligibility standards? No.

I love Gordon's posh, proper English accent. The one he was using while reciting the slang words.

The NCAA "5 for 5" rule passed in June applied to players with eligibility remaining beginning with the 2026-27 sports year. As a result, the Class of 2022 (whose 4 year eligibility ended with the 2025-26 sports year) was not included in that expansion. All of the players that are suing are Class of 2022 who think they should get a 5th year, so they are directly challenging the established NCAA rules.

Effectively the NCAA was in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation because if you don't include the 2022 class then they sue, but if you do, then the class of 2026 high schoolers get screwed out of a position since rosters weren't expanded (schools and coaches are vehemently against this like they were at the beginning of COVID for budgetary reasons), so they'd sue.

Instead, now you have weird permutations where a player at Texas State originally regained eligibility for 2026 through the now invalidated Colorado lawsuit will not be able to play in the game against Texas, who will be fielding a player who regained his eligibility for 2026 through a lawsuit in a Travis County lawsuit. You also have several freshmen at LSU that will soon be shown the exit so that former NFL roster members and signees can join Lane.

another one... turkey bacon is better than regular bacon

Already split? This one lasted less than a year?

Probably too old for him

Yes supposedly they're done.

Also Donnie has commented on how he has to eat meals at a certain time.

Charles Haley interview is great. Absolute greatness. Bob & Corby foot in mouth and Charles just taking full advantage haha but he's a great story teller.

Charles Haley is always such a wild ass ride

"Ayo, she fine too, y'all! Lemme tell ya dat!"

Picks with friends payoff is great

Now THAT'S a long day!

Yeah, definitely can't have Matt or Mino losing. Jub, Corby, or Donny would be best.

I get the punishment aspect. But at the same time it seems odd to handicap the quality of the product with those conditions.

It'll be great radio if corby or Dave or really anyone has to stay up all night and then is loopy the next day.

hard disagree

Imagine: 8 hours of just the sip, Matt is repeating himself for the 9th time this segment. Special guest Gordon Keith chimes in only to make fun of an oblivious Matt, who thinks Gordon is thrilled to join him.

Calls ensue all evening, Matt keeps on getting weirder and weirder, citing his high school drama team and his pension for high school thespians.

He's at a 0.28bac as the musers roll in a 5:50, continues to tell us about how cool it is he saw his parents doing it when he was 11 and that definitively did not impact him as an adult.

At 9:00, it's Donny and only Donny. These last roughly 24 hours finally wake Cat up. Despite only paying tier 1 "talent" $74,500 a year, he realizes Matt isn't the answer and should have to register every time he moves to a new house and it's time to move on.

Cat swallows his pride, picks up the phone, and the next week, it's Donnie-Doo and Sorois for 4 hours.

Sirois would have been best.

I honestly think Matt or mino being up for 36 hours is more much listen radio than the other guys. Just bc Matt is weird and who knows what he will say. And mino is so private that maybe we would learn something.

We should all definitely hope mino doesn't win though. Bc even a delirious mino would probably just be like "I went to the grocery store this weekend, that's all I did." Whatever comes out of Matt's mouth could be mist listen radio.

Plus Matt is acting like he just can't stay up that long. Which makes me really want to see it.

The others will be entertaining but just normal radio entertaining. Not jaw dropping I can't believe they said that radio or where we learn something new about them.

Musers flexing that vacation day tomorrow. Shocked i tell ya

I think I speak for all of us when I say that if you or anyone you know is actually good at sports betting, there are a few hosts we need you to share some tips with to keep them comfortably out of last place.

3 hours with some of these guys is bad enough. 24 would be torture.

Unless i missed it, i don't think Clarence hill is doing any reports on the ticket this year. Sounds like a good thing

Idea.

Marry Jemele Hill and move away together to Fuck Off Island.
