With the ruling that JUCO athletes retain all 4 years of NCAA eligibility regardless if they play at a JUCO for two years, how does that impact recruiting in sports? I would think it makes jucos more enticing for players to attend as they are pretty much a prep school now, especially with DI rosters being cut in most sports.
How will Juco ruling impact recruiting?

More insanity in college football. Bye bye NCAA, your time is limited. You sat by and did nothing, very soon you'll be nothing.
A court ruling? How did this find it's way into a courtroom?
Add in a redshirt year and these kids can go to "college" for 7 years.

Looks like an athlete can come out of college with multiple degrees and maybe a Masters or two. Riiiiiiight!
in 10 years we'll have a glut of 6-7-8 year players taking up roster spots and people will cry about the lack of opportunity.
Interest will slowly fade and revenues will drop.

The guys that don't make the NFL (almost all of them) are going to wish they did what you suggest.
I'm not for sure, but this ruling could have been a major factor?
"the NCAA's rules preventing Pavia from playing in the 2025 college football season because of his two years at New Mexico Military Institute, a junior college, violated the Sherman Antitrust Act."

College football is ruined. This might be the dumbest ruling of them all, and that's saying a lot when you consider unlimited transfers, endless NIL, and so on.
Again we see the jurisprudence of US courts looks more like the foolishness of kindergartners. That's simply an insane ruling. But ya, if it stands it would have a huge impact on everything in college sports.
Pretty soon they won’t even have to be “students”
Insane, yes!
Cool in a way, though.
We're back to the good old days of the Southwest Conference, Barry Switzer, and SMU.
Let the good times roll in the updated Wild West!
What an advantage for athletes and schools. No cost to the schools for an athlete to develop and mature physically.
If a jc isnt a farm school of an university now they will be.
Interest slowly fading has already started. Unless you're a fan of the select few schools with nearly unlimited resources, you've got no shot at your team competing at the highest level regularly. Spend some time talking to the fans of other schools and you'll come across a lot of people that are already caring less about college sports. The problem isn't that the players are allowed to be compensated for their NIL. Instead it is unlimited free agency, stealing players from schools by throwing more money at them, no salary cap, and players being paid as part of recruiting. The concept of NIL was supposed to allow players in college to make money for doing ads, making appearances, and selling products with their name or face on it. It wasn't supposed to be someone giving a player $4MM just to come to their school.
As for this court ruling, how long until the NCAA's "limit" of 4 years of active participation is ruled to be against the law? Only a matter of time. Once that happens, just shut the NCAA down as they provide no value other than scheduling end of season tournaments and maintaining the in-game rule books.
If college football is ruined as you declare, one might reason that viewership and attendance would decrease sharply, or at least wane.
Instead, CF attendance, viewership, sales and revenues are at all-time record highs and increasing rapidly. Since the introduction of the transfer portal and the legal ruling that paved the way for NIL income, college football interest has experienced unprecedented growth.
Are reforms warranted - yes. Is college football “ruined”. — absolutely, demonstrably, no.
Juco is now glorified prep school. No more grey shirts. Now schools can stash players at junior colleges.
Actually....
Ralph covered CFB for a long time at the Associated Press; he now is a Senior College Sports Writer for The Athletic.
I liked college football as it was. I also like college football as it is. I don’t know if I’ll like college football as it will be. I’m hoping to.
Could someone redshirt in JUCO AND at a 4year? That would be 8 years...
It's funny to see the continued pretense about eligibility.
This is pro sports now.

What is Paiva's history on how he got here? Transferred from NM St and before that was juco. Why did he go the juco route? Grades? No scholarships?
If it was grades or no offers who's fault is it for going playing juco and burning a year or 2? Paiva's.
You played your 4-5 years now move on.

Brad Banks should sue & come play for 2 more years.
I wonder if they are now. When is the last time anybody was ever academically ineligible?
Online classes likely make passing extremely easy.
Certainly should make JUCO more enticing. For a typical 3 star recruit, your chances of going to the NFL are not great. But, if can develop into a starter at a power conference, you could make $300,000+ per year. Going to JUCO and retaining 4 years of eligibility would give you the best chance of starting for 3-4 years at the power conference level.
However, that might be more long term thinking than most 18 year-olds apply. If they see that they can make more going to an FBS school than a JUCO in their first year out of high school, that might be all that matters to them.
My daughter is playing softball at the JUCO level, she had offers from DIIs but the money she got at the JUCO level was a better deal. Now this is huge for her, she goes to Juco for 2 years and doesn't pay a dime and then go to a 4 year school and comes away with her Masters and hopefully for free.
I’ve been wondering the last couple of years when this just turns into minor league football.
Maybe they can turn the Big 10 and SEC into minor league football and bring college football back to the other conferences.
Iowa can have a minor league team and a college team in the clowns (maybe over time I could cheer for them).
How? Pass laws that big XII can’t have NIL?
anything trying to restrict part time job income for anybody loses in court. That’s all NIL is in the eyes of the law.
The only way to stop NIL is for a college to drop all sports. That isn’t happening
