The NCAA announced that it will appeal the temporary injunction in the lawsuit case of Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia.

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

The NCAA on Monday appealed the preliminary injunction granted by a U.S. federal judge giving Diego Pavia another year of eligibility even as the organization’s Division I board of directors granted a waiver allowing athletes in a similar situation as the Vanderbilt quarterback to play in 2025-26.
