## Resource

A Colorado judge just slapped the NCAA with a major legal setback, ordering them to let athletes who started in the 2022-23 season play an extra year—even if they’ve already used up their four years. The ruling stems from lawsuits claiming the new five-and-five eligibility rule unfairly disrupted athletes’ Name, Image, and Likeness deals and their career paths. Athletes argue they were grandfathered under old rules and shouldn’t be punished for changes they didn’t anticipate. This decision could reshape college sports, especially for undrafted players or those who declared for the draft only to find themselves ineligible to return. The NCAA may appeal, but now they face a tough choice: fight in court or grant blanket waivers to avoid more chaos.
