Federal judge rules athletes from 2022 class can regain eligibility

U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney has granted a preliminary injunction for all Division I athletes who entered college during the 2022-23 school year, allowing them to regain a fifth season of eligibility. This ruling impacts thousands of athletes who had exhausted their four years of competition, caught in a gap caused by the NCAA's new ‘five-for-five’ eligibility rule. The decision arrives as many fall camps are opening, complicating roster management for college programs. The NCAA criticized the ruling, calling it ‘egregiously wrong’ and urging Congress to take action for a federal standard.
