The NCAA secured a legal victory on Monday in a lawsuit concerning its age-based eligibility system. According to court documents, the Ohio Court of Appeals granted a motion to halt an injunction in the Borovicanin v. NCAA case. Fifteen athletes, including Xavier's Filip Borovicanin and Cincinnati's MJ Collins, were part of the lawsuit, which was filed in late June in Ohio.
The athletes were seeking an additional fifth year of eligibility after the NCAA introduced a five-year, age-based model set to commence. However, this new rule will not apply retroactively, so members of the Class of 2022 will not receive an extra year. Consequently, the athletes involved in the Borovicanin case remain eligible under the Colorado ruling, which is also awaiting a decision on its motion to stay the appeal. Despite this, the NCAA's win in Monday's ruling is significant.
