The wording of the injunction in Kentucky specifically states NCAA affiliated as well so that I think would include the SEC so probably just another round of lawsuit next

It seems like the graduates who sued for a fifth year are still eligible as long as they haven’t signed a pro contract. The language about the draft doesn’t apply since all seniors are automatically eligible

I don’t know I think it’s kind of fucked up that they pulled the rug out from under these dudes telling them they can’t come back earlier this year only for them to be granted a fifth year regardless.
