SportsMichigan's Roddy Gayle wins preliminary injunction in fifth-year eligibility case
CBS Sports reports the ruling puts Gayle on a path to play in 2026-27, but permanent eligibility remains unresolved. The NCAA is expected to appeal if he secures it.
TLDR
CBS Sports reports that a New York judge granted Michigan guard Roddy Gayle a preliminary injunction against the NCAA—not a final decision on permanent eligibility. The judge requested a formal order within 30 days, and the NCAA is expected to appeal if Gayle secures permanent eligibility.
The dispute stems from a June rule change allowing five years of competition that excluded 2026 graduates. CBS Sports says Gayle, who averaged 7.3 points per game last season, is expected to start if he returns. Michigan is without freshman guard Brandon McCoy Jr., who suffered a season-ending ACL tear.
