Former Univ. of Nevada football player Cortez Braham Jr. has \u201clanded an injunction that could allow him a seventh year of college eligibility,\u201d according to Chris Murray of NEVADA SPORTSNET. Braham \u201csued the NCAA in May, arguing he should be eligible for the 2025 season after three years in junior college and three more in the NCAA\u2019s FBS level.\u201d Barham in his lawsuit said that he was \u201cbeing denied the opportunity to earn up to $500,000\u201d in NIL money. Murray notes U.S. District Judge Miranda Du \u201cblocked the NCAA last Friday from making Braham ineligible for a seventh college season.\u201d The NCAA \u201ccould appeal the ruling to the U.S. Court for the Ninth Circuit.\u201d The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit \u201crecently reversed a ruling that had allowed Wisconsin\u2019s Nyzier Fourqurean to play a fifth college season in five years.\u201d The \u201cdoor for additional years of eligibility for junior-college players was opened in December\u201d when Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia<\/a> \u201creceived a favorable court ruling to play another season this fall.\u201d That led to the NCAA \u201cgranting an additional year of eligibility for JuCo players in 2025-26 if that season was within their five-year window, which had expired for Braham.\u201d Judges have \u201cnot come to a consensus on college eligibility windows, with Du\u2019s ruling adding a further wrinkle to the situation.\u201d Sportico was first to report on the injunction (NEVADA SPORTSNET, 7\/21<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Univ. of Nevada football player Cortez Braham Jr. has \u201clanded an injunction that could allow him a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":225670,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[331,7,41841,49,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-225669","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-college-football","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-name-image-and-likeness","11":"tag-ncaa","12":"tag-ncaa-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114893704690456339","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225669\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
