Despite Villanova quarterback Pat McQuaide being granted a preliminary injunction to play this season, the Patriot League has deemed the Wildcats starter ineligible.

On Aug. 4, the Patriot League sent a letter to Villanova stating that the conference denied McQuaide’s eligibility waiver request. The conference’s decision conflicts with a preliminary injunction granted on Aug. 1 by Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court judge Timothy P. McCormick. McQuaide, a native of Cuyahoga County, originally motioned to sue the NCAA after it denied his waiver request to play in 2026.


Conference Vs Court - Interested to see the outcome of this one.

the courts win pretty every time it's "NCAA vs courts" so not sure why the conferences would have a better leg to stand on?

That's because the NCAA never tells the courts "no". The same thing would happen there as will happen here. The conference will relent or get fined for violation of a court order, or worse.

Conference can force the team to forfeit every game on the conference slate and award their opponents a win if they keep this guy on their roster.


Can they? They’d get sued to oblivion

Patriot League

The Patriot League is comprised of schools primarily in the Northeast. The judge is located in a county court in Cleveland, hundreds of miles away from the nearest Patriot League school.

Shopping for a friendly local judge in Lubbock or Oxford is one thing, This guy went from Philadelphia all the way to Cleveland to find a friendly judge.

He resides in Solon, a suburb of Cleveland in Cuyahoga County.

Conferences aren't located in the same state as the colleges in question. Unlike the NCAA they will have to go to a federal court to get an injunction.
