Zach Davis and 10 others sue NCAA for extra eligibility season

Summary

Zach Davis, former Memphis basketball guard, is among 11 players filing a lawsuit against the NCAA in Tennessee seeking an additional season of eligibility. The lawsuit challenges the NCAA’s recent age-based eligibility model, which begins a player’s eligibility clock upon full-time enrollment or at 19. Davis, who transferred to Memphis after three seasons at South Carolina, averaged 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in his first year with the Tigers. The NCAA rule changes do not apply to athletes like Davis who completed their fourth season by spring 2026, prompting this legal action.
