Landry Rejects SEC Fifth-Year NFL Rule as College Football Chaos Grows

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry criticized the SEC’s ban/limit on a fifth year for players who previously had NFL contracts, saying the move creates a legal mess and that college sports need fixing; the piece frames the policy amid broader chaos as conferences seek antitrust exemptions and LSU looks to add former NFL players, while noting court decisions that allowed a fifth year for players like Diego Pavia and Trinidad Chambliss and suggesting the Protect College Sports Act could follow.

NCAA's Five-Year Rule Sparks Legal Battles as Players Seek College Returns

Undrafted NFL hopefuls Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, who began college in 2022, want to return to college to play for Lane Kiffin, but the NCAA's new rule allowing a five-year window for 2023+ entrants does not apply to them; they are among plaintiffs challenging the rule on education and NIL benefits. The broader fight over fifth-year eligibility continues with a Tennessee Court of Appeals stay in a case involving Jalen Washington and 18 other basketball players, while the NCAA also secures stays in Ohio, New Jersey, and Colorado. Cal football general manager Ron Rivera weighs in on conference alignment.

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.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit stayed a nationwide injunction that would have allowed NFL players to use a fifth year of college eligibility, pending full appeal, effectively delaying the Colorado court’s earlier ruling and adding to the legal uncertainty surrounding players’ college eligibility ahead of the 2026 season.

Fifth-Year Comebacks on the Table for 2026 After NCAA Eligibility Ruling

A preliminary injunction by U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney opens the door for some 2022 recruiting-class players who exhausted four years and didn’t redshirt to return for a fifth season in 2026, though rules remain restrictive: they must return to the 2025 school (transfer portal closed), cannot have pro contracts, and programs aren’t obligated to create room. NCAA may appeal, which could affect the players’ eligibility again. CBS Sports profiles several potential returnees across programs like Florida State, Virginia, Texas, TCU, Ohio State, Kansas, Georgia, Arizona State, and Houston, explaining how feasible each comeback would be given rosters and constraints.

Court ruling could unlock fifth-year comebacks in college hoops

A Colorado court injunction could allow 2022 seniors to play a fifth season in 2026-27, triggering a second wave of lawsuits to regain college eligibility. The NCAA plans an expedited appeal as Ohio and Tennessee have already granted some players fifth-year relief under state rulings. Notable names like Donovan Dent, Jordan Pope, Malik Reneau, Jaxon Kohler and Skyy Clark are pursuing eligibility, though roster limits and funding may limit some moves. Braden Smith is technically eligible but is not expected to return. The upheaval promises ongoing roster chaos across college basketball this offseason.

Michigan State basketball secures key players for upcoming seasons.

Malik Hall, the veteran forward and captain of Michigan State basketball, has announced that he will return for a fifth year of eligibility.

His leadership will be important to a frontcourt that loses Joey Hauser but is expected to return starting center Mady Sissoko and backups Jaxon Kohler and Carson Cooper.
