There was good news for UNC football on the NCAA eligibility front on Friday, although Cameron Fens is still ineligible.
@GSBarnes23 has further insight into Fens's legal situation, including why he has likely remained in the Tenn case.

Baker saying the NCAA thought it would get sued no matter what it did is laughable. This would have been an easy PR win for the NCAA if it had only grandfathered in the Class of 2022. To suggest otherwise is disingenuous on Baker's part.
NCAA President @CharlieBakerMA has a bone to pick with the Class of 2022 athletes seeking an extra year of eligibility.

The absurdity of the NCAA’s eligibility debacle is that there are schools like UNC that have Class of 2022 student-athletes who are both eligible and ineligible.
UNC PK Rece Verhoff is eligible and will play on Saturday. UNC C Cameron Fens is ineligible and won’t play on Sunday.

UNC center Cameron Fens remains ineligible.
Tennessee Supreme Court has denied plaintiffs’ motion to review and lift the stay.
“Upon due consideration of all the relevant factors, the Court concludes that, at this stage of the proceedings, Plaintiffs have not shown a likelihood of success on their claim that the NCAA breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.”

Todd Golden on eligibility chaos is worth your time ⬇️
"The NCAA has spent millions of dollars promoting the PCSA. But if that were to pass, the class of '22 athletes would be eligible."
"At this point, the NCAA is arguing that they're trying to prevent chaos, but they're really causing it."
