Filip Borovicanin, MJ Collins file lawsuit against NCAA on age-based eligibility model
Filip Borovicanin and MJ Collins have filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, challenging a new age-based eligibility model adopted by Division I.
The brief
The NCAA has adopted an age-based eligibility model that provides Division I athletes with five years to complete five seasons of play. This shift in policy has triggered a legal response from athletes Filip Borovicanin and MJ Collins, who are challenging the structure of the new rule.
Coverage from AP News, ESPN, and On3 highlights allegations that the rule is unfair, particularly to athletes from the high school Class of 2022. Simultaneously, regional sports outlets including 247Sports, AL.com, and One Foot Down are reporting on how the five-for-five model impacts roster management and athlete eligibility at specific institutions like Alabama, Ohio State, and Notre Dame.
Legal proceedings regarding the lawsuit will determine if the eligibility model remains in its current form. Whether the NCAA will modify its implementation of the age-based policy in response to the litigation remains to be seen.
