EXCLUSIVE: Scruggs Tells Me Why He's Suing the NCAA (The WVU Domino Effect for Lorient)
from Locked On West Virginia - Daily Podcast on West Virginia Mountaineers Football & Basketball · host Locked On Podcast Network
EXCLUSIVE: I spoke DIRECTLY with former WVU cornerback Jordan Scruggs, and he confirmed his plans: He is taking the NCAA to court! 🚨 Scruggs is seeking a temporary restraining order in Monongalia County that would allow him to play a fifth season of college football in 2026. But this lawsuit is about way more than just one defensive back—it could trigger a massive DOMINO EFFECT across West Virginia athletics! If Scruggs beats the NCAA in a local court, could it provide the exact legal roadmap needed to save Brenen Lorient's final season of WVU Basketball? Lorient played four seasons in four years and was excluded from the NCAA's new five-for-five eligibility model. A Scruggs victory could prove that the NCAA's eligibility rules are inconsistent and give Lorient the precedent he needs to get back on the court for Ross Hodge. Plus, we break down what this means for Javan Buchanan's pending waiver and the rest of the Mountaineers' rosters. Drop a comment below: Do you think the courts will force the NCAA to let Scruggs and Lorient play? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
