Rookie Buccaneer among 16 suing for college football comeback after TRO
TL;DR
A Louisiana judge granted temporary restraining orders to 16 players, including Buccaneers rookie Jack Pyburn and former LSU standout, enabling them to potentially return to college football in 2026 as part of a broader challenge to NCAA eligibility rules; the TRO provides immediate relief but is not a final ruling, and the cases hinge on the NCAA's five-year clock and players who have NFL contracts.
