Judge rules all 2022 college athletes eligible for fifth season

A U.S. District Court ruling grants a fifth season of eligibility to all college athletes from the 2022 class who have completed four seasons. Judge Charlotte Sweeney's decision allows athletes to enter the transfer portal and seek new opportunities. Former Kentucky player Denzel Aberdeen, who was previously thought to have exhausted his eligibility, is among those now eligible to play another season. This ruling significantly impacts teams and athlete options ahead of the upcoming season as they finalize rosters. Some athletes who signed professional contracts may also be affected by this decision.
