NCAA Eligibility Ruling Shocks Athletes | Toledo News

A Ohio judge just sided with 24 college basketball players, issuing a preliminary injunction that lets them enter the transfer portal — a major win in their lawsuit against the NCAA over new age-based eligibility rules. The court called the NCAA’s enforcement arbitrary, and a full trial is set for August 4. This isn’t the first time this attorney has challenged the NCAA — he’s previously filed suits for nearly 30 athletes. The NCAA argues these players, who completed their fourth year in 2025-26, should’ve known their eligibility was up. But the athletes — all from the 2022 high school class, no redshirt years — claim it’s unfair to compete against players with more eligibility. The NCAA’s new policy caps eligibility at five seasons within a five-year window, eliminating most waivers and extensions, except for military service or pregnancy.
