Nationwide automatic Selective Service registration to start in December under new NDAA

Nationwide automatic Selective Service registration to start in December under new NDAA

A nationwide automatic registration for male Americans ages 18–26 will take effect in December as part of the National Defense Authorization Act signed into law, applying to US citizens and all other male residents (including green-card holders, refugees, and asylum seekers) while exempting nonimmigrant visa holders. If Congress later authorizes a draft, registered men would be entered into a lottery by birth date to determine induction order, with exemptions/deferrals and fitness evaluations for those selected; penalties exist for failure to register. The measure has bipartisan support, but it does not itself create a draft without congressional approval.

NCAA Proposes Five-Year Eligibility Window, Eliminates Waivers

The NCAA is floating a sweeping eligibility reform: a five-year window to compete from the time a student turns 19 or graduates high school, whichever comes first, with no waivers or redshirts except for limited cases. The proposal, discussed by a committee next week, could take effect as soon as this fall and aligns conceptually with President Trump’s executive order, while potentially reducing avenues for lawsuits over extra years.

NCAA Eyes Five-Year Eligibility with Age Cap and Stricter Redshirt Rules

The Division I NCAA Cabinet is weighing a proposal to grant student-athletes five full years of eligibility, starting from their 19th birthday or high school graduation, whichever comes first, with a hard age limit and strict redshirt/waiver restrictions limited to a small group of outliers (maternity leave, military service, religious missions). If approved, the rule could roll out as soon as fall 2026 in phases, and would seek to protect current players while addressing past waiver use and related political discussions around extending eligibility.

NCAA Mulls Five-Year Eligibility With Age Threshold, Scrapping Redshirts

The NCAA is weighing a sweeping eligibility overhaul that would grant five years of varsity eligibility once players turn 19 or graduate high school, with no redshirts or waivers and only narrow exceptions (maternity, military service, religious missions). The change could start as soon as Fall 2026 and would be phased to protect current athletes; questions remain about whether players in their final season would receive an additional year under the new policy.

Ole Miss QB Chambliss Wins Return Bid After NCAA Petition Rejected

Mississippi’s Supreme Court denied the NCAA’s petition to appeal a prior eligibility ruling, clearing Trinidad Chambliss to return for another Ole Miss season. A five-year college veteran who sought a medical redshirt to gain an extra year, Chambliss starred last year with 3,937 passing yards, 22 TDs and 3 INTs as the Rebels reached the CFP semifinal.

IOC approves genetic-based ban on transgender women in Olympic events

The IOC adopted a non-retroactive eligibility policy that bars transgender women from female Olympic categories and other IOC events, determined by a one-time SRY gene screening, effective for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The move aims to protect fairness and safety in the female category, and also limits athletes with certain differences in sex development (DSD); the document notes that being born male and puberty-related testosterone can confer advantages in strength, power, and endurance.

NCAA seeks expedited Mississippi Supreme Court review to keep Ole Miss QB Chambliss off the field

The NCAA has filed an interlocutory appeal with the Mississippi Supreme Court asking for an expedited review of a preliminary injunction that would allow Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss to play next season, arguing the ruling creates an unfair advantage for Ole Miss and could disrupt the competitive balance for other programs. The NCAA contends the trial court ignored medical documents showing Chambliss was not cleared to participate in Ferris State in 2022, while Chambliss’ side says the injunction was warranted to prevent ongoing hardship and ensure his eligibility disputes are resolved promptly. The case could set a significant precedent for eligibility rulings and medical considerations in college athletics as it unfolds in state court.

NCAA seeks expedited Mississippi Supreme Court review of Chambliss eligibility injunction

The NCAA has filed a 658-page appeal with Mississippi’s Supreme Court to obtain interlocutory review of a chancery court ruling that granted Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss an extra year of eligibility to play in 2026, asking for an expedited decision before the Sept. 5 opener vs. Louisville. The injunction bars NCAA enforcement while the case proceeds. Chambliss attributes his case to respiratory issues and a coach’s alleged plan to redshirt in 2022, while the NCAA contends the ruling undermines its eligibility rules and fair competition.

Judge denies injunction, ending Charles Bediako's Alabama eligibility

An Alabama circuit judge denied Charles Bediako's motion for a preliminary injunction, ending the 7-foot center’s collegiate eligibility and his season with the Crimson Tide after he joined Alabama mid-season under a temporary restraining order amid questions about his eligibility. The 23-year-old had averaged 10 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in five games; NCAA President Charlie Baker said the court upheld the rules, and Alabama coach Nate Oats noted Bediako would stay on scholarship while pursuing a degree.

Tennessee QB Aguilar sues NCAA to extend his college football eligibility

Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar has filed a Knox County Chancery Court lawsuit against the NCAA seeking to extend his Division I eligibility for a fourth season after transferring to Tennessee for the 2025 season; if granted, 2026 would be his sixth season overall. Aguilar, who previously played at junior college and Appalachian State before joining Tennessee, hired Cam Norris as his attorney and recently was involved in the Diego Pavia eligibility case, from which he was voluntarily dismissed. In 2025 he posted 3,565 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions with four rushing scores as Tennessee finished 8-5.
