Court Ruling Deems Class of ‘22 Seniors Ineligible for Upcoming College Season
The ruling leaves 2022 class players ineligible again unless they have separate court orders, affecting athletes seeking a fifth college football season.
- On Friday, the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 decision staying Judge Charlotte Sweeney's ruling, halting fifth-year eligibility for the high school class of 2022 and leaving thousands of athletes in limbo.
- More than 100 athletes filed nearly 20 separate lawsuits challenging the NCAA's new five-year eligibility model, which excluded the class of 2022 from receiving an extra season despite the rule's application to subsequent classes.
- Utah State defensive back Bryson Taylor returned to the team after coach Bronco Mendenhall called him three weeks ago, yet less than 24 hours after Taylor spoke to media about his comeback, the appeals court ruling threw his eligibility into uncertainty.
- The 10th Circuit ruling does not affect athletes with separate temporary restraining orders; on Wednesday, former LSU standout and current Tampa Bay Buccaneer Jack Pyburn and 15 others won eligibility through a Louisiana judge's order.
- With some college football games a mere eight days away, NCAA chief legal officer Scott Bearby confirmed the organization will continue defending lawsuits across the country, signaling the roster uncertainty will persist through the season.
