Big win for our client, Tristan Smith. A South Carolina court just granted a temporary injunction against the NCAA, restoring his eligibility to compete for Clemson this fall. The NCAA's arbitrary application of its Five-Year Rule didn't hold up. Justice for Tristan!

We gave it our all for Tristan Smith. The NCAA gave everyone in Diego Pavia’s class an extra year, not counting 1 year of JUCO. To not give all former JUCO players an extra year of eligibility would be arbitrary and capricious. We hope the judge agrees. Will find out this week.
