🚨 Is the NCAA robbing Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia of $1 million?
Pavia is taking a stand, claiming the NCAA’s rules unfairly cut short JUCO athletes’ chances to make a name (and a living) in college sports.
Here’s what’s at stake:
1️⃣ Limited Time to Shine: By counting JUCO years against eligibility, the NCAA gives JUCO athletes fewer years to reach their full potential—and profit from NIL deals.
2️⃣ Different Rules, Same Penalties: JUCOs aren’t even part of the NCAA system, so why are JUCO years counted the same? Pavia argues it’s an unfair setback for athletes who take this route.
3️⃣ Lost Earnings: With only so much time to build their brand, JUCO athletes face tighter windows to land NIL deals—leaving potential money and opportunities on the table.
Pavia believes he could earn over $1 million in NIL deals in 2025 if given just one more year of eligibility’s
Should he get the extra year?
