## Resource

Twelve college athletes, including stars from Memphis and Vanderbilt, are suing the NCAA in Tennessee to gain an extra year of eligibility — a bold move challenging the new age-based rule limiting eligibility to five years. Despite NCAA claims that the rule simplifies things and won’t impact current players, athletes like Zach Davis — who battled suspensions and bounced between schools — are fighting to extend their careers. This legal battle underscores a growing rift between student-athletes demanding more playing time and governing bodies trying to enforce stricter regulations.
