15 Minutes of Lacrosse vs 8 Years of Football — The NCAA’s Oklahoma Problem

15 Minutes of Lacrosse vs 8 Years of Football — The NCAA’s Oklahoma Problem

@HOF-CFB
The NCAA just did it again — and this time, they didn’t even try to hide it.

On today’s Rise & Shine College Football, Jason Watkins takes aim at college football’s most powerful and least accountable institution after the NCAA denied Oklahoma linebacker Owen Heinecke a fourth year of eligibility… because he played 15 minutes of lacrosse at Ohio State back in 2021.

Heinecke transferred to Oklahoma to play football in 2022, has never used a football season of eligibility since, and yet the NCAA ruled that those 15 minutes of lacrosse count as a full season — ending his OU career.

And here’s the kicker…

Just one week earlier, the same NCAA granted Miami linebacker Mohamed Toure a stunning eighth year of eligibility, bending over backwards to approve a waiver that very few athletes in the history of college sports have ever received.

So let’s get this straight:
-- 15 minutes of lacrosse = too much

-- Eight years of college football = totally fine

Jason breaks down how this ruling fits a larger pattern of selective enforcement, brand favoritism, and conference politics, and why Oklahoma keeps finding itself on the wrong side of NCAA “discretion.”
If you’re a fan of fairness, athlete rights, or just enjoy watching the NCAA get exposed for how broken its system really is… this episode is for you.
