sounds like we'll see grandfathering after all

Gonna go out on a limb and say the stacks of cash will likely continue, just back in paper bags or cleverly laundered.

Until this whole thing gets collectively bargained or whatever and they go fully to the pro model that we're inching towards in herky jerky steps.

I get it, though. Illegal play for pay has been a feature of college football forever. It's part of the culture. A famous 1932 movie about hiring players to be on the college football team:

A settlement between schools and players is in many respects similar to a CBA. It isn't something the court imposed. The parties to the lawsuit proposed and agreed to the settlement features.

Yes, this is correct. In some respects this is probably a better outcome for the NCAA than a CBA.

this would be one way to write a grandfathering rule which seems fair (to me)

Anyone who was on the roster in the season ending immediately prior to the effective date of the settlement AND is not getting a revenue share in the first season after the settlement is adopted does not count against the 105 limit. Four years on a roster (including seasons before the settlement effective date) uses up eligibility for grandfathering. Getting a revenue share in the future eliminates grandfathering. I would say they could portal if they wished but a transfer would eliminate further grandfathering status.

I'm confused. Does this mean we can STILL take Avery?

Did they unban him from campus

That sounds fair to me and wouldn't hurt future recruit numbers either. Good idea.
