USC offensive lineman DJ Wingfield and UCLA wide receiver Kaedin Robinson were denied the opportunity to play in their fifth college football season after a judge ruled the NCAA's Five-Year Rule is not subject to antitrust scrutiny. Despite claims of potential irreparable harm and allegations of violating antitrust laws regarding eligibility and NIL earnings, the court upheld the existing rule. Previous cases against NCAA eligibility have yielded inconsistent judicial outcomes, underlining the uncertainty athletes face in navigating these regulations.
In a ruling that potentially sets a precedent, Judge James Selna decided that the NCAA's Five-Year Rule governing athletic eligibility is not subject to antitrust laws, dismissing claims from players seeking extended eligibility.
