Can NFL players really go back to college football?
More than 100 athletes are suing for a fifth year of college eligibility, arguing they are entitled to another season — and some of these athletes have already played professional football.
Some have been on NFL rosters, participated in NFL training camps and even played in NFL preseason games.
On the latest episode of A Must Win Game with Maggie Gray, Maggie is joined by Matt Moscona, who covers LSU for After Further Review and Locked on LSU and is the publisher of LouisianaSports.net, to unpack one of the strangest eligibility battles in college football.
What role does Lane Kiffin play in the story?
Is this simply a one-time legal fight involving a group of athletes?
Or could state court decisions create a precedent that opens the door for athletes to move between professional football and college football?
If athletes can play in the NFL and then return to college, the implications for college football could be enormous.
Maggie and Matt break down the lawsuit, the athletes involved and what could happen next.
Plus, Maggie examines the strangest offseason in recent San Francisco 49ers history, from Jed York's arrest in an undercover police sting to Kyle Shanahan's car accident and concussion, an unusual trip to Australia to play the Rams and an aging, injury-plagued roster.
But the big question is:
Could this eligibility fight completely change the relationship between college football and the NFL?
This is A Must Win Game with Maggie Gray, a sports podcast for sports fans.
