The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit ruled against Cade Tyson's eligibility to play for the Minnesota Gophers this season, siding with the NCAA. Tyson, a key player and one of 12 plaintiffs in a lawsuit seeking a fifth year of eligibility, is currently ineligible following the reversal of a previous district court ruling. The court determined the plaintiffs did not present sufficient evidence regarding their relevant labor market. Tyson and others have 14 days to request a rehearing, with the deadline set for November 20. As this unfolds, the Gophers will have begun their season and be preparing for their Big Ten opener against Michigan State within weeks.
