- NCAA won a significant victory Friday when federal appeals court judges sided with it in its effort to implement a new five-year eligibility ruling.
- Dozens of similar lawsuits are playing out in state courts across the country, and the NCAA's federal victory does nothing to reduce them.
Why it matters: The NCAA gained a significant legal foothold on Friday for implementing its five-year eligibility ruling. That benefit does not resolve the dozens of parallel state-court cases, leaving the NCAA's broader implementation effort still tied up in litigation across the country.
