NCAA Eligibility Rules Shake College Football | Oregon Ducks Football News
Description
The NCAA’s new five-year eligibility rule is sparking chaos as pro athletes eye college returns, triggering lawsuits and fierce backlash from conferences like the Big Ten and SEC, which now ban any player who declared for the NFL draft, appeared on an NFL roster, or signed a pro contract — with coaches facing penalties for defiance. Oregon’s Dan Lanning went viral defending the stance, while current athletes voiced support for finality in pro decisions. A recent court ruling also paused a plan to grant thousands extra eligibility years, tightening control over the five-year window tied to high school graduation — potentially reshaping college football’s future for teams banking on former pros.
