​SPRINGFIELD–The current era of college athletics continues to make fans, players, coaches, and universities shake their head in disbelief.On Sunday, just one day after the Cleveland Browns played their second preseason game, tight end Dae’Quan Wright’s name was listed in the college football transfer portal.But wait…how does a player in the NFL get their name in the college football transfer portal??Thanks to a Louisiana judge granting Wright an injunction against the NCAA, which allots him one more year of eligibility, Wright can suit up for LSU this fall.Wright’s attorneys argued that the NCAA unfairly discriminated against college athletes who enrolled in school in 2022, and did not get a fifth year of elgibility, after the NCAA passed the 5-in-5 act, this summer, which firmly grants all college athletes a maximum of five years to play their sport, beginning this fall.Wright, who played for Ole Miss the past four years, is one of more than 150 hopeful, fifth-year seniors who will have their injunction granted by a court of the state they go to school in, so it can bypass the recent decision of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, which dismissed a federal, class-action law suit on the issue.Even Cleveland Browns Head Coach, Todd Monken was in disbelief over the circumstances.”I mean, I don’t know what to say, ya know?” said Browns Coach Todd Monken. “I wondered why Lane Kiffin reached out a week ago, now I know.”Oregon’s Head football Coach, Dan Lanning spoke out against the athletes hoping for an injunction.”Once you go to the NFL, to me you’re in the NFL and you don’t get the opportunity to come back, said Oregon Head Coach Dan Lanning. Most of us have built our rosters and you have a limited roster limit now. So, if you invite somebody back to your team, that means you’re kicking somebody else off your team to match your roster limits.”But LSU Head Coach Lane Kiffin doesn’t see it that way.”Because of the rulings, they are going to play for you or someone else,” said Tigers Head Coach Lane Kiffin. “We made the decision to recruit them. It’s wrong to be critical of these kids. They were granted a 5th year and a judge said they were wronged.”Missouri State Athletic Director, Patrick Ransdell gave Ozarks First this official statement on the ruling by the 10th Circuit Court.”I am pleased with the Tenth Circuit’s decision to stay the preliminary injunction issued,” said Ransdell. “This reiterates the need for more structure in college athletics. I hope we can get there sooner rather than later.”Hopefully the sooner arrives before the later.Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
