Carter Loflin files lawsuit against NCAA for fifth year at Georgia

Carter Loflin, a recent semifinalist in the U.S. Amateur, is suing the NCAA for a fifth year of eligibility to return to the Georgia golf team. Loflin's attorney claims that the NCAA's rules unfairly restrict his ability to compete and earn potential income. Georgia golf has a roster spot available if the court permits his return. The lawsuit comes amid a broader context of disputes over NCAA eligibility rules impacting other athletes from the 2022 class. A preliminary injunction in a Colorado case allowed some athletes to seek a fifth year, although it was later stayed on appeal. Georgia golf's season opener is scheduled for Sunday in Tennessee.
