Fair enough. I do look at ESPN website at least twice per day. I missed last month's new policy.

It appears the new rule allowing college players to play 5 years in 5 years (age based) would go into effect in 2027.

I disagree with the judge's decision -- allowing it to go into effect immediately -- will not cause chaos. Seems to me it definitely will cause chaos if a player who maxed out last season and does not play professionally, can suddenly return to the college roster.
