Zakai Zeigler drops bid to play 5th college hoops season, but his lawsuit against NCAA will continue

Posted Jul 5, 2025
Zakai Zeigler of Tennessee has dropped his bid for a federal judge to let him play a fifth season of Division I basketball in five years, but his lawsuit against the NCAA will continue, his attorneys said Tuesday. Last month, a judge denied Zeigler’s request for a preliminary injunction that would allow him to return to the Volunteers. He appealed that ruling. (Associated Press)
