Duke, UNC Athletes File Lawsuit Against The NCAA

"During their collegiate football careers, Plaintiffs suffered numerous injuries that limited their ability to play, as well as other challenges off the field which negatively impacted their collegiate football careers," the lawsuit argued.

"As a result of a series of injuries and unfortunate circumstances, Plaintiffs had several of their seasons cut short and were otherwise were not afforded the opportunity to reach their full potential in their collegiate football careers up to this point."

Both Jones and Bergeron have each played four years in college and neither has missed more than half the season with an injury. Although Jones may have played through lingering issues from a 2023 hip surgery that he could've taken more time to heal from under different rules.

Still this appears to be an issue bigger than them that they're willing to put their names on and there's something to be said for that.

Preliminary hearings for their suit are reportedly set to begin on April 22. And we'll see how far it goes in potentially shaping some change when it comes to NCAA players and how much of a window they're given to complete their four years of eligibility.
