Kentucky Appeals Judge Denies NCAA Bid to Block 30 Athletes From Playing as Hoops Season Draws Near
A Kentucky appeals judge blocked the NCAA from denying eligibility to 30 athletes while the association’s challenge to the new five-for-five rule continues.
- On Friday, a Kentucky Court judge denied the NCAA emergency relief in its appeal, allowing 38 student-athletes to compete during the 2026-27 season while litigation continues.
- Members of the graduating Class of 2022 were denied an additional season under the NCAA's new five-for-five rule, prompting 30 athletes to receive a temporary injunction Oct. 16 to compete.
- Kentucky Court Judge Sara Walter Combs ruled the NCAA failed to prove 'imminent, ruinous and incalculable injury,' noting it 'behooves no one for Respondents' eligibility status to flip-flop repeatedly' during ongoing litigation.
- In a memo Thursday, the NCAA stated it was 'deeply disappointed' by similar rulings in Ohio, asserting ineligible players deprive eligible athletes of opportunities and provide 'significant competitive advantage' to competing schools.
- Multiple lawsuits across several states focus on the eligibility model scheduled for implementation next fall, as a panel of three Kentucky Court judges continues considering the NCAA's request for relief.
