RJ Godfrey joins lawsuit against NCAA over eligibility issues
Summary

Former Georgia Bulldogs forward RJ Godfrey is part of a lawsuit against the NCAA, filed on July 9, seeking a fifth year of eligibility. The lawsuit involves 16 players who argue that the NCAA has unfairly limited their participation and earnings potential. The group seeks immediate relief to enable scholarship and NIL agreements for the 2026-27 season. This move follows recent NCAA rule changes that affect eligibility, which might require Godfrey to look for another transfer if successful. His recent collegiate stats include 12.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in his latest season at Clemson.
