Saint Vincent Men’s Basketball student-athlete Michael Iuzzolino is suing the NCAA as he seeks to compete in the 2025-26 season. Iuzzolino claims he should have another season of eligibility, voiding his 2021-22 season at Bryant (DI), after the NCAA ruled him ineligible for the upcoming season. “Mr. Iuzzolino relied on his then-coach's good-faith assurances that Mr. Iuzzolino's limited participation in the 2021-22 season at Bryant would not count against his four years of NCAA eligibility. In fact, Mr. Iuzzolino played only sparingly during that season-23 minutes across 12 games (of Bryant's 32-game slate) and did so only because he was told by his coach that this very limited participation in this second COVID-impacted season would not deprive him of a season of eligibility in the future. […] The NCAA, however, has improperly ruled Mr. Iuzzolino ineligible. It has wrongly applied its own rules in bad faith to count his brief and limited participation during the COVID-impacted 2021-22 season as a full ‘season of competition,’ despite Mr. Iuzzolino's good-faith reliance upon his then-coach's assurances to the contrary.” Of note, one of Iuzzolino’s attorneys is Winston & Strawn’s Jeffrey Kessler.
