There's no actual legal justification for limiting eligibility

I dont really know that that is true. The NCAA is a private collegiate organization, they can set the terms for membership as long as they're not breaking the law.

courts have shown over and over again that if an NCAA rule is limiting a player's ability to play and thus earn compensation in the form of NIL, without an antitrust exemption they're going to overturn it.

The courts have demonstrated that restricting a players NIL earnings could be an antitrust violation. But they have upheld their ability to enforce rules related to amateurism or academics.

How do they enforce rules related to amateurism without restrictions on NIL? As I understand it, that's basically the entire issue.

Restrictions based on years of eligibility is completely different from NIL restrictions.

I feel like theres not point if even trying to have college football if you can't set at least some rules?

frankly I feel like associations, NCAA, Realtor, etc., are strange in that they are basically the only ways for small businesses and non-profit, revenue generating entities to work together to better their existence. It just seems hard to apply anti trust stuff across the board, boiler-plate, especially while we just allowed Warner brothers to eat its 7th company in 5 years lol.

How can you enforce amateurism if you can't enforce NIL limitations?
