Jack Pyburn and 15 others sue NCAA for college football return

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie Jack Pyburn, along with 15 other players, received a temporary restraining order from a Louisiana judge, allowing them to potentially return to college football in 2026. This development challenges NCAA eligibility guidelines, particularly concerning players whose seasons were affected by injuries. Pyburn, who previously played for LSU before signing with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent, argues that his injury-shortened 2023 season should not count against his eligibility. The NCAA is facing increasing legal challenges related to its eligibility rules. The granting of this restraining order provides immediate relief but does not signify a final ruling.
