Wisconsin’s Fickell Says Delay in Eligibility Ruling for CB Nyzier Fourqurean Is ‘Unacceptable’
Coach Luke Fickell condemns federal court delays that have pushed Nyzier Fourqurean's eligibility trial to 2026, hindering the Badgers’ season progress.
- On Monday, Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell called the lack of a federal ruling on Nyzier Fourqurean’s eligibility `unacceptable` as the season is more than halfway done and said `to see what has happened to Nyzier is a shame`.
- The case began this year when Nyzier Fourqurean asked a federal court to allow him to play for Wisconsin, claiming his Grand Valley State seasons shouldn't count; U.S. District Judge William Conley granted a preliminary injunction later overruled.
- Fourqurean's timeline shows he played at Grand Valley State in 2021 and 2022 before joining Wisconsin Badgers football in 2023, where he had 51 tackles and one interception last season; Wisconsin has five regular-season games left.
- Coach Luke Fickell warned the delay `has crushed the potential of this kid`, noting Fourqurean was told he would get an answer during Wisconsin's bye week as he pounded the podium saying `I'm not saying what he should rule`.
- The legal timeline shows no federal ruling has resolved Nyzier Fourqurean's eligibility, with trial delayed last month and his Grand Valley State enrollment in 2020 underpinning his claim.
