Federal appeals court stay puts Syracuse players’ fifth seasons on hold
A federal appeals court stay has temporarily prevented Syracuse athletes Justus Ross-Simmons and Amarri Monroe from playing an additional college season.
By the ClickNNY Sports Desk
A federal appeals court has stayed an injunction that would have allowed Syracuse University athletes Justus Ross-Simmons and Amarri Monroe to play a fifth college season, leaving their eligibility on hold for now.
Ross-Simmons joined Syracuse football earlier this week, while Monroe, a transfer from Quinnipiac, was hoping to play basketball for the Orange. The case involves Class of 2022 athletes seeking an additional season after the NCAA adopted a five-seasons-in-five-years rule that excluded that class. The source material says it remains unclear what happens next, including whether either athlete will join another lawsuit.
