NCAA Eligibility Chaos Hits Missouri | Missouri Tigers Football News

Missouri Tigers’ season opener just got wilder off the field: defensive tackle Sterling Webb cleared to play hours before kickoff after a judge blocked the NCAA’s attempt to stop a temporary restraining order. This legal drama exposes the chaos college athletes face as the NCAA’s new five-year eligibility window—intended for newer players—creates confusion and lawsuits for those who already used up their old rules. Nearly 400 athletes are now in court, including some who signed pro deals, triggering conference bans and more legal battles.
