Roddy Gayle Is Eligible Until September 17 And Michigan's Roster Is Already Full

Roddy Gayle Jr. sued the NCAA in Niagara County Supreme Court on August 31 and won a temporary restraining order on September 2, twelve days after the Tenth Circuit took away the class ruling that had made him eligible. The order bars the NCAA from declaring him ineligible and from punishing Michigan for playing him, and it runs until a preliminary injunction hearing on September 17 at 2 p.m. Michigan announced its non-conference schedule on September 4: three exhibitions in October and an opener against Oakland on November 2. Its published 2026-27 roster lists fifteen players, which is the roster limit, and Gayle is not one of them.
