Of course not. Still, was this a crime? Some sort of violation?

Or is he guilty of "flaunting"?

Exposing the corrupt system.

Lots of people are still in college at 25, particularly those who joined the military after high school and then used their GI Bill to pay for college.

“Calzada, who is playing his seventh season of college football”

Seventh season? What’s he doing, getting a PhD?

Counting hundred dollar bills at Kentucky is not flaunting NIL money.

Longhorns driving around Austin in Lamborghinis is flaunting NIL money.

Guess I must be old --- I thought you were only eligible for four seasons at most. When did that change?

Agree and perfectly understand those cases. My two sons were military. But in this case he started at A&M in 2019, correct?

He certainly is the blabber mouth of the year. This is why we can’t have nice things.

It does not matter. The Taxpayers and Booster Clubs will pay it.

Four standard years.
Plus:
One redshirt year (practice but don’t play in games)
One injury exemption year if granted.
The seventh was a “COVID year” for 2020-2021 in case a player was enrolled in a state or a school that shut down or curtailed their sports program (thankfully this will be ending soon)

In 2026 it will be 8 years. And he will still be on Football Scholarship when he goes on Social Security. Courtesy of the Tax Payers.
