Recent transfer receiver addition Tray Taylor and former Auburn basketball star forward Keyshawn Hall were both part of the 2022 cycle of student-athletes left out of the NCAA’s new fifth year of eligibility rules. They are now racing to the courts to file their own temporary restraining order against the NCAA to gain one more year of eligibility.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals granted the NCAA’s request for a stay against the recent injunction in the Wisne v. NCAA case. That was the Colorado ruling that allowed all players from the class of 2022 to play if they had not yet exhausted their college eligibility. That ruling came after the NCAA created its new fifth-year rule that was adopted in June of this year.
This directly affects these two players who fit the description of what the Wisne v. NCAA case was supposed to protect. Especially Taylor, whostarted his career at Tyler Junior College in 2022. Now all they have to do is go to a judge who may or may not be an alumnus, but a judge who will agree with their filing, and boom. It is law. There should be no reason to worry about either of these players not being allowed to play, because the NCAA has rolled over and died so many times that they would have to essentially do this to every single TRO filing that comes out…
