NCAA’s Five-Year Rule Just Got Crushed | Omaha News

NCAA just got handed a major legal blow as a Denver judge ruled that high school athletes from the 2022 class — who just completed their fourth year of college — are still eligible for a fifth season, throwing a wrench into the NCAA’s planned “five for five” rule starting in 2027. The ruling, by Judge Charlotte Sweeney, argues these players would suffer irreparable harm if forced to follow the new rule, rejecting the NCAA’s claim it would cause “roster chaos.” Meanwhile, NCAA President Charlie Baker is pushing back, calling for Congress to pass antitrust protections to shield the organization from such legal disruptions. With an appeal likely on the horizon, this decision could reshape athlete eligibility and college sports’ future.
