Badgers CB sues NCAA over D-II eligibility issue
Briefly

Wisconsin cornerback Nyzier Fourqurean filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, contending that his eligibility clock shouldn't count the two years he played at Grand Valley State. He claims the organization is denying him the chance to profit from his name, image, and likeness due to rules restricting his eligibility after transferring. Fourqurean's legal team is requesting a temporary restraining order against the NCAA's regulations, arguing that these rules violate antitrust laws and hinder opportunities for student-athletes from Division II schools. He has a pressing deadline to declare for the NFL draft soon after his participation in the Hula Bowl.
Fourqurean's attorneys allege the NCAA's eligibility rules impede student-athletes like him from competing and profiting from name, image, and likeness, violating antitrust laws.
The lawsuit seeks an injunction against NCAA's five-year eligibility rule, asserting that Fourqurean's circumstances, including personal tragedy, justify additional eligibility.
