A Colorado U.S. District Court ruled that athletes from the class of 2022 are eligible for a fifth season, opening the door for participation in 2026-2027. This ruling creates potential challenges for teams already in fall camp as they may pursue veteran players while young athletes could face roster issues. The NCAA plans to appeal the decision amid the upcoming season. Meanwhile, support for the Save College Sports Act has been bolstered by the SEC and Big Ten, signaling a collective effort to adhere to revenue-sharing regulations. In addition, the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors expect a strong offensive season and UTEP is working on adjustments as they transition to the Mountain West conference.
