A judge in DeKalb County, Alabama, has granted a preliminary injunction to former college football coach Jeremy Pruitt, temporarily blocking the NCAA from enforcing its six-year show-cause penalty against him.This ruling opens the door for Pruitt—who previously served as head coach at Tennessee and defensive coordinator at Alabama—to pursue coaching opportunities without the restrictions that have sidelined him since 2023.The decision stems from Pruitt’s ongoing lawsuit against the NCAA, where he argues the penalty has caused irreparable harm to his career.The court also mandated mediation between the parties by December 22.This could mark a significant step toward Pruitt’s potential return to high-level college football.
