Xavier men's basketball is directly affected by the reversal of the NCAA injunction. On Friday, October 2, 2026, the Ohio First District Court of Appeals unanimously overturned a preliminary injunction that had previously blocked the NCAA from enforcing its new age-based eligibility limits.

The Core Impact
    • Filip Borovicanin is Ineligible: Xavier forward Filip Borovicanin was the lead plaintiff in this class-action lawsuit representing 24 college basketball players. Following the appeals court ruling, he and the other plaintiffs are no longer eligible to play for a fifth year during the upcoming 2026–27 season.
    • Loss of Court Protection: A federal court injunction (Wisne v. NCAA) in Colorado had temporarily shielded Borovicanin earlier in the fall. However, after recent appellate rulings dissolved those broader protections, the reversal of this local Ohio case effectively leaves him without any active legal safeguards to remain on the court.

As I posted elsewhere, the NCAA is determined to fight all these cases to the bitter end. Big day on Monday for SJ.
