This past season, at Vanderbilt, Diego Pavia slayed Alabama.

Last year, while at New Mexico State, he beat Auburn.

The brash, playmaking quarterback appears to have a new victim: the NCAA.

On Wednesday, a Tennessee judge granted Pavia’s request for a temporary injunction against the NCAA and its rules related to seasons of eligibility.

Pavia, exhausted of eligibility after having played two years of junior college and three years in Division I, is challenging the NCAA’s policy that counts a junior college stint on a player’s eligibility clock. NCAA athletes get five calendar years to play four seasons.
