Of course, we all expected Yax to enter the draft and be selected this year, but he needs to start being the aggressor as Andy said last night.

They are talking about 5 years in the link below. Yax played 3 at juco so he is on #5.

Next year would be 6, right? So he would not be eligible nor would AJ or Moore but Gordon and Coleman would be. Unless I am reading it wrong which is possible.

Y'all going to protest this ruling while Pavia is in town?

The other professional football league (the NFL) doesn't. Minor league baseball doesn't. Just play until you can't play anymore. As long as you're a student of the school, you're eligible. Not good enough to play on Sunday? But still good enough to play on Saturday? Just go to college for 15 years, a la Van Wilder. Hell, there' no limit to free agency. Play for a different team each year if you want.

Why even limit it to college students? I didn't have to be a student of UAB to be an employee of the IT department, why make that a condition to be an employee of the athletics department?

Running it back next season
