Wisconsin's Nyzier Fourqurean Drops NCAA Lawsuit, Ends Bid for Extra Year

The decision followed weeks of silence from the court on his in-season eligibility request.

Overview

  • Fourqurean announced on Nov. 21 that he authorized his lawyers to dismiss the case, saying he could no longer keep Wisconsin waiting for a ruling.
  • He had argued his two seasons at Division II Grand Valley State should not count toward the NCAA’s four-year limit.
  • A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction in February, but a federal appeals court overturned it in July.
  • The trial date was moved to 2026, and a separate request to play this season went undecided despite an expected ruling in late September.
  • Coach Luke Fickell called the lack of a ruling unacceptable, and Fourqurean said he will now prepare for his pro day and pursue NFL opportunities.
