Jaxon Kohler is eligible right now, but still has markers to cross to stay and remain eligible for the season. The next step for Jaxon is September 29, where the case he is part of has its preliminary injunction hearing in front of the California State Court in Santa Clara, CA at 3:00 PT. Several other states around the country have had similar hearings. Ryan Downton is the managing partner leading most of these cases, and just had a similar case in Indiana where he appeared in court against the NCAA.

The courts granting or denying a preliminary injunction isn’t the end of the road, but its an important next step. If the preliminary injunction is granted, the NCAA will almost certainly appeal to have the injunction stayed. If a preliminary injunction is not granted, then Kohler and the other plaintiffs would have to wait until the trial to see if they are eligible.
