The NCAA Says It Wants Stability. If So, Give the Class of 2022 a Blanket Waiver | Austin Massey

The NCAA can keep sending lawyers from courtroom to courtroom, or it can finally address the decision that started this mess.

Grant the Class of 2022 a blanket waiver for 2026-27.

NEW: Plaintiffs in the Georgia eligibility case say Arizona’s Randall Godfrey Jr. was suspended four games despite the Aug. 5 injunction’s protections for certain pro-contract issues.

One fascinating part of the Ohio stay:

The appellate court said the NCAA presented a “substantial case on the merits” and demonstrated irreparable harm.

But it also acknowledged the athletes “will also suffer harm,” without ever identifying what harm to the NCAA it found… https://t.co/eXVFdVLRfS
