Recent court ruling and Wrestling eligibility

[Old Number Nine]

NCAA Eligibility Ruling

Did anyone see this ruling? I was wondering if anyone on our team might be affected by this ruling or maybe some other big name at another school.

For all I know it might not be valid for Wrestling. What about someone who recently used up their eligibility according to the old rules, could they come back?

NCAA Eligibility Ruling



For all I know it might not be valid for Wrestling. What about someone who recently used up their eligibility according to the old rules, could they come back?

The answers are in your link:

"Last week's injunction applied solely to Pavia and would have prevented the NCAA from barring the Vanderbilt quarterback from returning next fall. However, Monday's ruling from the NCAA will now allow other athletes in similar situations -- former junior college players who would have been out of eligibility following this season -- to return for an additional year in 2025-26."

"The waiver does not extend to all junior college athletes, only those who would have completed their NCAA eligibility this year."

Pavia's lawsuit and the subsequent injunction have potentially paved the way for hundreds of former junior college athletes to gain an additional year of eligibility in 2025-26.
