"The NCAA is pleased by the court's decision today, which protects the integrity of collegiate competition. As additional lawsuits challenging common-sense, academically-tied eligibility rules are filed, the NCAA will continue to defend against attempts to rob high school students across the nation of the opportunity to compete in college and experience the life-changing opportunities only college sports can create."
"Morris' attorneys argued he was wrongly denied a waiver by the NCAA for his 2022 season at TCU. Morris suffered a knee injury in the Horned Frogs' season opener that he said significantly impacted his mental health."
"The NCAA and its member schools are making changes to deliver more benefits to student-athletes, but the patchwork of state laws and inconsistent, conflicting court decisions make partnering with Congress essential to provide stability for all college athletes."
Chandler Morris, a Virginia quarterback, sought a preliminary injunction to play a seventh season after his eligibility waiver was denied by the NCAA. The Virginia circuit court judge denied his request. Morris, who has played six seasons and started 35 games, argued that a knee injury affected his mental health and led to the denial of his waiver. The NCAA stated that it would defend against lawsuits challenging eligibility rules, emphasizing the need for stability in college athletics.
