NCAA's 5th-Year Eligibility Ruling Could HURT the UFL

from The Storm Surge Podcast Hosted by A7BN Sports

College football's eligibility rules are changing again — and the UFL could feel the consequences.Court rulings have opened the door for members of the Class of 2022 to pursue a fifth season of college eligibility. That might be great news for players who want another year on campus, but what happens to spring football when another class of potential UFL players suddenly has another option?Kyle Nash and B.P. break down how the NCAA eligibility lawsuits could shrink or delay the UFL's incoming player pool, why NIL and revenue sharing make staying in college increasingly attractive, and what this could mean for teams like the Orlando Storm trying to build their 2027 rosters.Is this merely a one-year roster wrinkle — or another major challenge for the UFL's player-acquisition model?Subscribe to the Storm Surge:[www.youtube.com/@StormSurgeORL](http://www.youtube.com/@StormSurgeORL)#UFL #OrlandoStorm #StormSurge #CollegeFootball #NCAA #SpringFootball #UFL2027
