Breaking today — and it's happening fast.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals just granted the NCAA a stay of the Colorado federal court ruling that would have given the entire high school class of 2022 a fifth year of eligibility. That ruling had been in effect for three weeks, creating what I can only describe as a free-for-all. Now it's paused — pending a full appeal that could take a year.
But here's the chaos that remains: the state court cases in Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky and elsewhere — where individual players were named plaintiffs and won their own TROs — those are still in effect. Those players are still eligible. Everyone else from the class of 2022 is not.
Football season starts in two weeks. I do NIL consulting. I can tell you: nobody knows what's happening right now. Today's Daily Dose is my attempt to make sense of it.
