Rodney Bullard Jr. files injunction against NCAA for eligibility

Rodney Bullard Jr., a wide receiver for Michigan State, filed an injunction on August 18 in Ingham County court to regain a year of NCAA eligibility. The NCAA denied Bullard's appeal for the 2026 season, stating his eligibility clock began in 2021 when he was a part-time student at Valdosta State. Bullard, who has played three seasons since 2023 and redshirted in 2022, seeks to contest this decision. A preliminary hearing regarding the injunction is scheduled for August 27. This case follows recent NCAA rule changes about player eligibility, which have led to various legal challenges across the country.
