Tristan Smith Gets Fifth Year Back

Tristan Smith just won a major legal victory: a South Carolina judge granted him a temporary injunction restoring his fifth year of eligibility, allowing him to play this fall. The NCAA had denied his waiver, but Judge Jessica Salvini called their decision “arbitrary and capricious,” citing unfair treatment compared to other athletes in similar situations. This win follows recent legal victories for other players and comes just four days after the hearing, with Smith ready to return to practice after recovering from surgery. He thanked his team, family, and legal advocates for their support as he prepares to reclaim his spot on the field. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
