NCAA stay affects eligibility for Class of 2022 athletes

The Tenth Circuit has granted the NCAA's stay request in the Wisne vs. NCAA lawsuit, resulting in some Class of 2022 athletes being denied fifth-year eligibility unless previously granted temporary restraining orders. Earlier, a Colorado judge ruled some athletes could return for an additional year, but this ruling complicates their situation. Former LSU player Jack Pyburn and 15 others maintain eligibility due to their own temporary restraining orders. This ruling may lead to more legal actions as athletes seek to regain eligibility ahead of NFL roster cut-downs.
