Months after landmark Diego Pavia ruling, some former JUCO transfers remain in eligibility limbo

Of all Wide receptions that entered the transport portal this seasonThere was no more productive than Kaydin Robinson.

120 joint trap for 1745 yards and 12 declines over the last two seasons of Apalchian state. It seemed to be out of eligibility after the 2024 season, but then it came Diego Pavia The waiver of the NCAA fate in DecemberWhich, at least at the confusion of the moment, seemed to give all the JUCO players whose eligibility ended an additional season.

Robinson chose to enter the transport portal shortly after. Adhere to Ucla On January 12, the recipient’s legion widely supplied with Broen with a set of experience.

But then NCAA ROBINSON denied an additional season in March.

Now, Robinson’s profession is forgetful as he tries to work with NCAA about his previously assumed appeal. A lawsuit for his eligibility is also a possibility, according to his lawyer, Darren Haytner, who said that the University of California in Los Angeles reserves his position if considered qualified.

“Unless NCAA decides the opposite of the path, we will file a lawsuit,” Haytner said.

Robinson’s hanging with NCAA is associated with NCAA design that players in Pavia’s position do not have to account for their public juco for a year of eligibility. However, NCAA stated that players still have to complete their career within a five -year -old and are compatible with all other eligibility rules.

Robinson, who started his career in 2019 in JUCO, will use the full sixth year in 2025; The 2020 Covid season was free for everyone.

But Robinson, like many other players across University footballContinue to pay for an additional year. Heitner also represents South Carolina Rahsul faison, which is still going through a Wavier process with NCAA. Bilor Wide reception Ashtin HawkinsAnother player hopes to use the JUCO base for an additional season, his eligibility was recently canceled after the spring has passed with the bears.

There are many other players in FBS – all with varying conditions – they are pushing for an additional season. It is a scene that remains mysterious until the sixth after NCAA released the blanket detection.

The rule of Pavia is the source of confusion

When a federal judge in Tennessee Pavia gave a judicial order that allowed him to play the 2025 season, this led to a moment of confusion across University football.

The judge in the state of Tennessee has eliminated that the time of Pavia at Junior College should not be counted against his eligibility NCAA, because the base of Al -Ahliyya is a violation of combating monopoly, which limited his ability to earn money from his name, image and likeness.

In response, NCAA has created a waiver of a blanket that allows all players in Pavia position to play an additional year.

Isn’t it simple?

Not much. The players who played in Yuko rushed to the gate in the wake of Pavia’s referee, but many of them, such as Robinson, were eventually rejected by his eligibility. There is a reason for this, it caused months of the initial confusion until NCAA sent a question and an answer, which CBS SPORTS got, to its membership in March determining those who qualify for the Bava blanket youth:

To qualify for the relief offered by the Board of Directors, a sports student must meet all other eligibility requirements, Including the eligibility period,Question and Answer to read.

A-HA. The eligibility hour for five years. It often affects the players who started their career in 2019. So, if someone played JUCO Ball in 2019 and 2020 before spending four years at the FBS level, they are still out of eligibility because they have lasted six years in university football, adjacent to the five -year hour.

Pavia was given the extra year because he played four consecutive football seasons without a red shirt.

Why Gate Ruling

Although there are many challenges in the court for NCAA rulings in the aftermath of Pavia-some are successful, some of which are not-none of the cases of the five-clock of NCAA.

This changed in late April when a New Jersey court granted a preliminary order Rutgers Salama Jet Mead, who filed a lawsuit with a discussion of Pavia’s ruling.

A afternoon, 24 -year -old transferred from UnlvThe JUCO Season in Garden City-one of the four schools attended by Elad in his career-should not rely on his eligibility for five years. The judge agreed, noting that reducing athletes over four seasons is an issue under the Anti -Monopathic Law.

This is the first time that the judge specifically ruled the five -year window.

“Now that Elad has achieved success in this, I think you may see more (lawsuits),” said Mitt Winter, the lawyer for the Sports Law, who represented an athlete who sued an additional eligibility.

Elad joins Pavia and Weskonsen Corner Lizer ForeroWho stabbed that the D-II season should not be counted against his eligibility, because these athletes who have received successful initial orders.

Others were not successful with losses in states like North Carolina stateand Kansas Even Tennessee, where the baseball player (Alberto Osuna) lost while Pavia won.

“There is a law that can go in either direction,” Winter said. “I think he depends on the judge at the present time. It is a great luck in clouds.”

What is the next for those in forgetting

CBS SPORTS has reached South Carolina, Paylaur and UCLA to clarify an explanation of the player’s waiver. South Carolina and Paylor refused to respond to communicating with continuous cases with NCAA. Ucla did not respond.

For those like Robinson, hope is a ruling on an issue like Elad, forcing NCAA to reconsider its position (NCAA took a fixed position on eligibility in this season, and chose to appeal the provisions of Pavia and Awal).

“We are fighting it as it did a meter,” Haytner said. “NCAA decided to stab Pavia and Elad. But we have some comfort because Pavia and Edd achieved success before us.”

South Carolina coach Shin Pimor addressed Veson’s position in May:

“It is frustrating,” said Pimor. “The fact that (NCAA) had everything they needed from us since January and we have no disappointing answer frankly. … We gave them everything they needed in January. They asked for more. We gave them what they needed.

There are other monitoring claims, too.

Tennessee’s basketball goalkeeper Zakai Ziegler filed a lawsuit in May against NCAA claiming to be “arbitrary” from using his fifth season of his eligibility after playing four years in volumes.

If it succeeds, the Zeigler case will be a pioneer, and it may put a precedent stating that all athletes are allowed to play five seasons during a five -year private window instead of only four.

Nevada The wide recipient Cortez Brahham Junior, who had 724 yards last season, is still in the transport gate without home because schools are not sure if it will be eligible. Barham says he should get an additional year because of his time in JUCO. His file also claims that Nevada refused to make a concession on his behalf.

The Brahm Pavia argument is linked, but it is not an individual position. Instead, Brahham argues that his second season of JUCO should not be counted because while he had degrees graduate From the Chenson Community College in the spring of 2021, its grades were less than the NCAA requirements to move to the first department school.

Brahham’s agent, Jacobi Jones of the Atlas, told CBS SPORTS that the transfer to four years to four years requires only 2.0 GPA while the JuCo player needs 2.5 GPA. This difference can cost Brahham 350,000-550,000 dollars of money, says Jones.

For this reason Brahham filed a lawsuit in Nevada against NCAA two weeks ago.

“We believe that he must have an additional year based on the circumstances in which his hour continued to continue when he started JUCO, but he could not move to the first section in 2021 because the cumulative rate did not meet the requirements of NCAA but met JUCO to move forward,” Jones said. “Therefore, NCAA regulations are anti -competing. He only played two full years from the first hour of the five -clock when he played children like Jet already four years and was not Cortez, so the ruling should be fair in all fields.”

All of this is part of the scene of the eligibility for the total football.

Players in Power Four schools still forget the summer, as schools and players alike are trying to move in a system that continues to challenge the court or change the base.

“There were many rumors about the provision of NCAA fifth year for all,” Haytner said. “These are just rumors. I have not heard of any real legislation project or that it will affect those who have now lost their eligibility. So it is difficult to plan with (NCAA), especially with the concessions of hardship, because even there is something that NCAA considers real difficulties and requires an additional year for what no.”
