Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris was denied in his bid for a preliminary injunction as he seeks a seventh season of eligibility. Morris had filed a lawsuit in Charlottesville (Virginia) Circuit Court last month after the NCAA denied his medical redshirt waiver and appeal. A circuit court judge ruled against Morris on Thursday. The dispute surrounding the 25-year-old Morris involves his 2022 season with TCU and whether it should count against his eligibility. Morris suffered a knee that season and applied for a medical redshirt. The NCAA denied that request after Morris made limited appearances in three games later that season.
