What happened: Day said he would still consider a released pro if competing programs began adding them. Lanning argued that each late addition could cost an existing athlete his roster spot.

Why it matters: A Louisiana temporary restraining order opened a path for more than a dozen former pros to seek fifth-year eligibility. The dispute could reshape roster planning just before the college season begins.

What to watch: Watch for further court rulings and any policy establishing when college rosters become final.
