  "account": "Cornerback Jabari Mack and linebacker Kalib Perry were ineligible for Louisville's Week 5 game against NC State after a panel of Kentucky Court of Appeals judges overturned a restraining order that granted them eligibility. The judges ruled that permitting the high school class of 2022 to play a fifth season would disrupt the status quo. Despite not having Mack and Perry on the field, head coach Jeff Brohm emphasized the importance of the rest of the team stepping up. The eligibility battle began when the NCAA's new five-year rule was applied to the 2022 recruiting class, and Louisville was denied a fifth year for Mack and Perry. The lawsuit filed with the Jefferson County Circuit Court was dissolved on October 2, ending the eligibility dispute.",
