Summary

Brett Karhu and Azariah Levells of New Mexico have filed a request for a jury trial in their consolidated cases against the NCAA. The filing was made on October 12 in the 2nd Judicial District Court, as they aim for a preliminary injunction to continue their football season. Both players are fifth-year seniors currently on temporary restraining orders related to a new NCAA eligibility policy, which they argue has unfairly denied them a fifth year of eligibility. Their cases, consolidated on September 11, are awaiting a ruling from Judge Joshua A. Allison, who stated a decision would not be made before October 17.
