Judge Grants NCAA Class Injunction

The NCAA's adoption of a rule giving athletes five seasons of eligibility in four years has led to a legal consequence. Via Daniel Hager of On3.com, the judge's ruling opens the door for any undrafted, unsigned free agents who graduated high school in 2022 to return to play college football in 2026.

The ruling specifically secures the ability of former Texas offensive lineman Cole Hutson, who recently secured a temporary restraining order, to play college football in 2026 despite participating in Browns and Cowboys rookie minicamps on a tryout basis. Quarterback Diego Pavia, from the high school class of 2020, does not receive an automatic path back but can still pursue his own court order. playerbros.org
