A three-judge panel of the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday dismissed the NCAA's eligibility case against Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, who is playing this season under a preliminary injunction. According to the Associated Press, the judges agreed with the dismissal for lack of jurisdiction in a quick ruling returned after hearing oral arguments Sept. 16 in Nashville. Judge Amul R. Thapar noted Pavia won the preliminary injunction before the NCAA hurt its appeal by granting a waiver in December to athletes in his position. The Tennessean also reports on the ruling.
