I'm sure they'd try if they wanted to.

Hard to not see this one as an extension of the Fourqurean case, where the judge ripped the NCAA for not having "meaningful exceptions" to the current Five-Year Rule and strongly suggested the NCAA go to a straight five seasons in five years (as has been debated).

Coley is arguing in part that (1) the NCAA didn't give him proper credit for his injuries in denying his hardship waiver; (2) the NCAA's definition of a "season" is arbitrary; and (3) the four-year limit is arbitrary given various exceptions like the COVID waiver.

I mean what exactly is McLean supposed to do here. She wanted to stay at Oklahoma, but she was cut so Oklahoma can make the new roster limits (the reason for their existence is still a mystery to me). So she transfers to USF, but the NCAA denies her waiver.
What did the NCAA expect would happen?

I've seen far too much sloppily-written legislation to discount Hanlon's razor here but yeah it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was on purpose.

Personally every time I read anything about the SEC, Big Ten, and CFP I want a hand grenade.

From experience, a good amount of people (including but not exclusively students) think that AI chatbots are always accurate, and they don't care or know enough to sniff out the BS. As a result, I've gotten clearly AI submissions with blatantly wrong info, hallucinated sources, etc. Not fun.

Don't worry, just throw in a contract clause saying "The parties stipulate that this hiring contract forcing literal children to work in the mines for 10 cents an hour does not violate the FLSA in any way" and you'll be fiiiiinnneeeee.

I'm going to start throwing clauses into all of the contracts I write saying "The parties' attorneys each stipulate that their mothers love them very much and they are all so smart and special."

Lol. As my HR Law students have had repeatedly drilled into their heads by now (hopefully), you can't just contract out of an employment relationship...
