​Judge Extends Order Allowing Charles Bediako To Play For Alabama

  • Judge James H. Roberts Jr. extended the temporary restraining order, keeping Bediako eligible to play during the delay of the Tuesday hearing.
  • Citing weather that affected Tennessee, the court noted Taylor Askew, attorney for the NCAA, could not attend the Tuesday hearing, prompting parties to agree on extending the TRO at a virtual status conference Monday.
  • Charles Bediako returned to the lineup this past weekend and recorded 13 points, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 25 minutes after spending three seasons in the G League.
  • With the hearing delayed, the Crimson Tide can count on Bediako for upcoming matchups including Jan. 27 and Feb. 1 as no new hearing date was set, and coach Nate Oats said Bediako will continue playing.
  • Last week, Charles Bediako sued the NCAA seeking reinstatement and a preliminary injunction, Judge James H. Roberts Jr. granted a TRO Tuesday restoring eligibility, and the hearing will be reset later.
