Louisville football's afternoon scrimmage was the easiest part of head coach Jeff Brohm's day.
Figuring out which players were eligible, however, was the tricky part.
"It changes every day, so it's hard to keep track," Brohm said. "Pretty much every day, we just call over compliance. They tell us what we can do and not do, and we roll with it. ... If your guys are here, you'd like them to be able to practice and play. So we're hopeful that can happen."
On Friday morning, Aug. 21, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit granted the NCAA's stay request in the Wisne v. NCAA case, meaning the new "5-for-5" age-based eligibility rule will not broadly apply to all student-athletes who entered college in 2022, barring an appeal. That ruling made Cardinals linebacker Kalib Perry, cornerback Jabari Mack and safety D'Angelo Hutchinson ineligible for the 2026 season after the three defenders recently announced they would take advantage of the extra year of eligibility.
A couple hours later, Mack and Hutchinson were deemed eligible. They are two of 13 athletes granted a temporary restraining order on the Tenth Circuit's ruling after filing a lawsuit in the Jefferson County Circuit Court. The order is set to "remain in effect until further order of the court or until determination of plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction," according to the court document.
