Fifth-Year Frenzy: Class of 2022 Eligibility Chaos Keeps Rolling
A Colorado ruling granting a fifth year to Class of 2022 athletes was paused by a 10th Circuit stay, temporarily restoring ineligibility unless players have separate TROs. However, state-court rulings (Louisiana, Kentucky) continue to allow some players to return or transfer, with examples like Luke Drzewiecki signing with Minnesota and Thomas Castellanos receiving a TRO. With more lawsuits anticipated as the season approaches, the chaos remains dynamic for both college football and basketball, and SEC transfer rules are under scrutiny as intraconference moves could be challenged.
