Federal Court Grants Fifth Year of Eligibility to Class of 2022 College Athletes

A federal court in Denver has ruled that all high school class of 2022 athletes who completed their fourth season of college eligibility this spring are now eligible for a fifth season. This decision by U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney overrides the NCAA's plan to implement its "five for five" rule starting in fall 2027, prompting NCAA President Charlie Baker to seek congressional intervention.
