Quick Thoughts on the NCAA Eligibility Ruling

Last Friday the NCAA ruled that all fall sport athletes will be granted an extra year of eligibility. While I’m sure the ruling was a relief to several student-athletes, several questions remain on how it will effect the landscape of college football.

  • Will there be bloated rosters? Obviously, I don’t think the NCAA decision will have the same impact for all college football teams. I assume the blue blood schools will not have the same backlog as other schools. They will churn out pro prospects and perhaps even more of their projected late round NFL guys will declare if there’s not enough tape on a Big 10 or PAC 12 player.
