Four WVU football players won a victory in federal court this week to continue playing for the Mountaineers.  The United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia ruled in favor of the players on Wednesday, granting a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to allow the players on the field.  The 67-page opinion from United States District Judge John Bailey comes after a complaint was filed by the athletes against the NCAA on Aug. 1. The complaint alleges the NCAA wrongfully denied the athletes' eligibility for the 2025 season, based on time previously spent at non-NCAA institutions.
