So this happened yesterday:

Diego Pavia successfully argued that his 2 years in JUCO should not count as 2 years of NCAA eligibility and won an injunction. The question now is, does JUCO become more of a minor league to some big P4 programs. A program can now potentially stash a kid at JUCO for two years and allow them to develop. They then take a transfer freshman who is 20 years old and has 2 years of experience and can play until they are 24 or 25. Now, that affects kids who are going to play in the NFL on the back end so a player that has designs on getting to the NFL isn't going to want that route, but others might. This is may or may not be of help to Michigan due to transfer credit issues, but it will be interesting to watch how this plays out.
