Yahoo Sports reported earlier this week that former Texas basketball guard Chendall Weaver, who joined the Longhorns as a sophomore in 2023, is among a dozen plaintiffs to file a lawsuit against the NCAA. The lawsuit seeks a temporary injunction that would provide each player a fifth season of eligibility after college sports’ organizing body approved a new “five-for-five” initiative that extended the four seasons in five years rule.

Vanderbilt bball player Jalen Washington and 11 others are filing a lawsuit in Tennessee seeking additional eligibility related to NCAA’s new age-based policy.

Many believe programs are keeping open spots for them. The filing includes a supportive letter from the Duquesne AD. pic.twitter.com/8L7QJW7giP
