Judge clarifies NCAA eligibility order, which could blunt its impact on new ‘5 for 5' rule
The judge said the order only blocks NCAA rules barring a fifth season, not transfer rules, roster limits or revenue-sharing caps.
- On Friday, July 31, Colorado Judge Charlotte Sweeney issued an injunction against the NCAA, granting all class of 2022 athletes a fifth year of eligibility.
- This ruling intersects with the NCAA's recent 'five-for-five' eligibility format and the 2025 House settlement, which established strict revenue sharing and roster limits slated for 2027.
- Sweeney clarified on Sunday, Aug. 2, that her order does not override existing transfer rules, roster limits, or revenue-sharing totals, ensuring teams maintain control over composition.
- Former Clemson forward Godfrey signed with Arizona following the ruling, while the NCAA stated Saturday, Aug. 1, that it expects to appeal the injunction.
- The Protect College Sports Act is gaining support in Congress from the Big Ten and SEC, though it remains unclear if federal legislation would override the court's injunction.
