Wisconsin cornerback Nyzier Fourqurean says he would earn “hundreds of thousands” of dollars in compensation if he receives an injunction enabling him to maintain his eligibility and play for the Badgers this fall. Fourqurean testified during a U.S. District Court hearing.

On cross examination, Fourqurean said there wasn’t a signed contract specifying how much he would receive if he plays at Wisconsin this season. Fourqurean’s attempt to continue his college career comes after a U.S. federal judge granted a preliminary injunction last month enablingthe Pavia case but also issued a waiver enabling athletes who played at a non-NCAA school for more than one year to compete for one more year if they otherwise would have exhausted their eligibility in 2024-25.
Michael Crooks, the lawyer representing Fourqurean, said their hope in that instance is that the NCAA would do what it did in the Pavia case by offering his client an extra year of eligibility even as it appealed the ruling. Lawyers for the NCAA noted that snap counts shouldn’t be taken into consideration because it otherwise would enable any former Division II backup to request waivers for those years.
