Shock: Another Eligibility Lawsuit

A Wisconsin DB Nyzier Fourqurean is now suing the NCAA claiming because he played at DII Grand Valley State, he deserves extended eligibility.

This is quoted directly from the Lawsuit:

"Preventing college student-athletes like plaintiff that attended Division II schools from competing in a third and fourth year of NCAA Division I football due to prior attendance at a Division II school, therefore limiting their economic opportunities to participate in the NIL marketplace available to Division I athletes, and otherwise unreasonably restrain competition in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act,"

And this is why ridiculous rulings like the Pavia one matter. Because it opens the floodgates even farther to even less substantial and valid arguments.

This player was never not allowed to participate in the "NIL Marketplace"... he wasn't good enough to play Division I out of high school. No one is preventing anyone from giving NIL to Division II athletes... this whole argument is utterly devoid of rational thought. This is like the perverse perpetuation of the "everyone who plays gets a trophy," phenomenon.

Anyways, we are about to be one step closer to Eligibility Rules not existing at all and 30-year-old retreads coming back after getting cut from NFL Practice Squads to play against 17-year-olds.
