Judge Grants 5th Season to Class of 2022 Athletes

U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney granted a class-wide injunction, ruling that all high school class of 2022 athletes who exhausted their fourth season of college eligibility this spring are eligible for a fifth season. The NCAA plans to appeal this ruling which affects the Age-Based Eligibility Model.

While the NCAA builds its appeal, the transfer portal will be opened in college basketball from August 3-10 for newly eligible athletes. The ruling has significant implications across college sports, with athletes like Jalen Washington and others already entering the transfer portal. raccoongame.org
