New motion marks Alberto Osuna's latest bid to play baseball at Tennessee
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — Alberto Osuna has launched another bid in his ongoing efforts to gain NCAA eligibility and suit up for the Tennessee baseball team. A motion was filed Monday in federal court seeking to reverse the denial of a preliminary injunction that would've him allowed him to take the field for the national champion Volunteers. The motion pointed to a recent decision by the District Court of New Jersey that granted eligibility to Rutgers football player Jett Elad for the 2025 season, contending that Osuna's request should be granted since both cases are largely based on the same evidence. 'Elad involves the same JUCO rules and same Sherman Act antitrust claim at issue in this case. Elad also submitted and relied on substantially the same evidence as Osuna, including the expert testimony of Dr. Joel Maxcy regarding the anticompetitive effects of the NCAA's JUCO rules. The NCAA's JUCO rules have now been enjoined by two District Courts who relied on expert testimony provided by Dr. Maxcy that is the same or substantially the same as the evidence and testimony provided in this case.' Federal motion filed on April 28 He filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in February, arguing that his one season at Walters State Community College should not count against his eligibility. He played the 2021 season at the school in Morristown, Tennessee before spending the last three years at North Carolina. Osuna had joined Division II program Tampa believing he had no Division I eligibility left. When an injunction was issued allowing Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia to play another year after a judge determined that his season at New Mexico Military Institute shouldn't count against his Division I eligibility, Osuna entered the transfer portal and came to Tennessee in hopes that he would win a similar ruling. Burchett chides NCAA on House floor over Osuna's fight to play baseball at Tennessee All three cases assert that NCAA rules violate the federal antitrust law, arguing that using junior college play into determine Division I eligibility denies athletes the full earning potential they would've received from four full years of name, image and likeness opportunities at a D-I program. Osuna batted .259 with a .359 on-base percentage, 45 homers and 140 RBIs in 177 career games at North Carolina over the last three seasons. He hit .281 with a .376 on-base percentage, 14 homers and 56 RBIs in 62 games last season while helping the Tar Heels reach the College World Series. No. 5/12 Tennessee currently sits in fourth place in the SEC baseball standings with a record of 13-8 in conference play. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Rutgers football safety Jett Elad ruled eligible for 2025 following court decision
Rutgers football safety Jett Elad has won a preliminary injunction that will grant him eligibility for the 2025 season, according to a decision released by United States District Judge Zahid N. Quraishi on Friday. Elad, who transferred to Rutgers from UNLV, filed a lawsuit against the NCAA hoping to block the institution from enforcing its five-year rule, which allows for four competitive seasons in a five-year timeframe. Elad and Rutgers argued that Elad's year at Garden City Community College in 2022 should not count toward his eligibility. This will be Elad's seventh season of college football. He previously spent three years at Ohio University before his JUCO year – he redshirted in 2019 and 2020, which didn't count toward his eligibility after the NCAA issued a waiver to all athletes because of the pandemic. Much of the reason for Elad's argument stemmed from the ruling the NCAA made on Diego Pavia, the Vanderbilt quarterback who won an NCAA injunction before last season after he argued his JUCO year shouldn't count toward his eligibility clock. In December, the NCAA announced that athletes would be eligible for 2025-26 if they competed at a 'non-NCAA school for one or two years' previously and would have exhausted their eligibility following the 2024-25 year. Rutgers coach Greg Schiano testified in Elad's case. The court's decision is a major win for the Scarlet Knights, who will have one of their top impact transfers available next season.

Report: Rutgers transfer seeking NIL deal suing NCAA
Rutgers transfer Jett Elad is challenging the NCAA's eligibility rules and hoping to cash in on a lucrative NIL deal. The Canadian-born safety filed a lawsuit last week in federal district court in New Jersey, seeking an injunction that would block the NCAA from enforcing its so-called "five-year rule." The eligibility rule requires student-athletes to play four seasons within five years, including junior college. Elad, who turns 24 next month, began his journey at Ohio University, where he redshirted in 2019 before playing in three games in 2020 and nine in 2021. He then spent the 2022 season at Garden City Community College in Kansas before transferring to UNLV for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. "The eligibility rule at issue is unlawful because it has substantial anticompetitive effects on two-year or junior colleges and universities that are excluded from NCAA membership," states the lawsuit filed by Elad, according to a copy obtained by Sportsnet. "... This five-year period includes time spent at a two-year or junior college. The effect of this rule (the "Five-Year Rule") is to discourage student-athletes from attending junior college to prepare for four-year college and to punish those who do so, even though junior colleges may provide such student-athletes with necessary academic and other opportunities. And just as the student-athletes are deprived of the junior-college experience that may so benefit them, the junior colleges are deprived of elite athletes, reducing their ability to compete with NCAA schools." Elad hopes to be on the field for coach Greg Schiano's Scarlet Knights this season, with spring practice starting this week in Piscataway, N.J. In addition to the opportunity to play in a major conference like the Big Ten, at stake is a reported $500,000 name, image and likeness deal. The NCAA rule will "permanently deprive (Elad) of a once-in-a-lifetime" NIL deal "and the opportunity to enhance his career and reputation by playing another year of Division I football," the lawsuit argues. In a statement to Sportico, an NCAA spokesperson said the association "stands by its eligibility rules, including the five-year rule, which enable student-athletes and schools to have fair competition and ensure broad access to the unique and life-changing opportunity to be a student-athlete." U.S. District Judge Zahid Quraishi has scheduled a hearing for April 3 in Trenton, N.J. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved
