- Zakai Zeigler dropped his bid for a federal injunction to play a fifth NCAA basketball season but will continue his lawsuit against the NCAA as of July 1, 2025.

- These cases highlight ongoing legal challenges against NCAA eligibility rules limiting extra seasons, with Hasz awaiting a July 18 hearing and Zeigler’s legal fight continuing.
