Overview
- The NCAA denied Grant-Foster’s eligibility waiver appeal earlier in October.
- Spokane County Judge Marla Polin issued a preliminary injunction restoring his eligibility for the 21st-ranked Bulldogs.
- Grant-Foster went directly from the courthouse to Gonzaga’s exhibition against Western Oregon less than an hour after the ruling.
- The case turns on whether a December 2024 blanket waiver for former junior-college transfers grants him an additional year beyond seasons the NCAA counted at Indian Hills and Grand Canyon.
- Any NCAA appeal would likely take roughly a year to reach appellate review, making an outcome unlikely to affect Gonzaga’s 2025–26 season, according to reports.
