re: Is unlimited eligibility the next issue for the NCAA?

Once the players tip over from student athletes to employees, the universities will no longer be able to age discriminate

Why would this be the case? The NFL and NBA have age restrictions

The issue is the fact players can’t collectively bargain for themselves and “agree” to whatever restrictions the NCAA wants to put in place. The players unions do this in all the other sports and why those sports are able to make and enforce rules

It is the slow death of college football.

Ironically, I'd pay money to watch an intramural league of student athletes at that point.

Should be a boon societally for those players who can make a good living in college but not cut out for the NFL to do so a few more years instead of losing eligibility and going home with no education and prospects for employment. There is also going to more spots for players...who is the NCAA to tell anyone they can only have X number of players. They are arleady doing away with the cap on coaches....
