Judge Grants NCAA Class-Wide Injunction

A federal judge in Colorado has granted a class-wide preliminary injunction requiring the NCAA to declare all athletes from the high school class of 2022 eligible for a fifth season of competition. The ruling specifically benefits former Texas offensive lineman Cole Hutson, who recently secured a temporary restraining order pending an August 3 hearing.

The injunction could open the door for any undrafted, unsigned free agents who graduated high school in 2022 to return to play college football in 2026. However, the ruling doesn't give quarterback Diego Pavia an automatic path back to the NCAA since he was in the high school class of 2020. solvita.blog
