The NCAA announced Monday that it will appeal the temporary injunction in the Diego Pavia lawsuit case while also granting former junior college players a waiver for eligibility in 2025-26.

Pavia's suit argued that counting junior college toward an athlete’s eligibility clock was an unlawful restraint on his NIL earning power.

Last week, Diego Pavia was granted an injunction that allowed the soon-to-be-former Vanderbilt quarterback another year of eligibility on the grounds that the NCAA should not be allowed to count his two years at New Mexico Military Institute, a junior college, against his NCAA eligibility.
