National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics convention this week included a very hot topic: The $2.8 billion NCAA antitrust settlement.

Zakai Zeigler filed a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking a fifth year of eligibility to play for Tennessee. His preliminary injunction was denied.

A federal judge on Thursday denied former University of Tennessee basketball star Zakai Zeigler a preliminary injunction that would have allowed the two-time SEC Defensive Player of the Year to play a fifth season as a graduate student in 2025-26.

A former Alabama relief pitcher has reportedly reentered the transfer portal after a season at another SEC school.

Appeal would not challenge the going-forward aspects of the settlement, including schools being allowed to pay athletes directly for NIL.

BYU’s new guard has said NIL was not the driving factor in his decision to transfer. Even if that isn’t the case, Drew hopes the House vs. NCAA settlement — which was recently approved and will soon allow programs to share revenue with athletes under a $20.5 million salary cap —will bring new balance to offseasons.

When does the 2025 College World Series start in Omaha, Neb.? What we know about the NCAA baseball tournament schedule, CWS teams and more.

The $2.8 billion NCAA antitrust settlement is going to bring changes to hundreds of schools across the country.
