A California court granted BYU basketball center Jaxon Kohler a preliminary injunction Tuesday that gives him a fifth season of college eligibility, the Deseret News reported. [1]
The ruling is part of the Glancey v. NCAA case, and the injunction would keep Kohler eligible at least until the final trial date. CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein reported that the NCAA will appeal. If the NCAA wins its appeal, the injunction would be stayed, which would sideline Kohler until that trial, the Deseret News reported. [1]
Kohler, a former Michigan State big man, was not covered by the NCAA's new "five in five" eligibility model because he is in the class of 2022. He was among more than 70 athletes granted a temporary restraining order in August, which let him enter the transfer portal and join BYU. After BYU's preseason exhibition against Nebraska, coach Kevin Young called him "the perfect fit" at center. [1]
