  "summary": "A court hearing has been scheduled for New Mexico defensive end Brett Karhu's lawsuit against the NCAA, which claims the organization breached the \"covenant of good faith and fair dealing\" by not allowing him to play a fifth year. The hearing will take place on Wednesday in the 2nd Judicial District Court at 2 p.m., with Judge Joshua Allison presiding. Karhu, along with cornerback Azariah Levells, was granted a stay request on Friday in Wisne v. Colorado, which effectively paused a class-wide preliminary injunction that allowed hundreds of college athletes to play a fifth year. Karhu and Levells have not practiced since Thursday, a day before the NCAA's stay request was granted, and have only attended practice as spectators since then. The NCAA has stated that it will continue to defend similar eligibility lawsuits after the Wisne injunction was stayed.",
