Federal appeals court halts ruling allowing thousands of college players extra
year of eligibility

AP National Writer
DENVER (AP) --- A federal appeals court on Friday temporarily halted a court
order that would have granted thousands of athletes who left college after last
season an extra year of eligibility.
The lawsuit was filed by players who graduated high school in 2022, whose
college eligibility ended last season and who were not included in the NCAA's
new rule that grants most players five years of eligibilty, beginning next
season.
After winning a ruling in district court, many of those players were trying to
figure out how to return to their former schools to play another year.
This ruling, by a 2-1 margin from a panel on the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of
Appeals n Denver, puts that on hold until the appeal can be heard in total. It
could tamp down on the chaos from a series of similar rulings in courts around
the country that led to players trying to come back before the start of college
football season.
