Maryland baseball player Trey Ciulla-Hall denied additional eligibility after NCAA lawsuit

Another key NCAA eligibility decision came down Friday. A judge denied Maryland baseball player Trey Ciulla-Hall’s claim arguing for another year.

The lawsuit was filed earlier this week in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts by Ciulla-Hall. He argued his 2020-21 season at Division II Stonehill College shouldn’t count against his eligibility due to both recent precedent and COVID-19 circumstances. It is similar to a suit filed by Wisconsin defensive back Nyzier Fourqurean.

Judge Denise J. Casper denied Ciulla-Hall’s claim in a filing Friday. She cited an “undeveloped record” in her decision.

“The court is not unsympathetic to Ciulla Hall’s situation, and notes that the denial of injunctive relief does not reflect any assessment of the plausibility of his claims,” the filling states. “Nevertheless, on an undeveloped record, and under emergency circumstances that are not of the NCAA’s making, and in fact, appear at least in part attributable to Ciulla-Hall’s delay in seeking injunctive relief, Ciulla-Hall has not met the burden for injunctive relief.”
