Court Wins Grant OSU Player Another Season

Oklahoma State student-athlete Parsa Fallah has been granted temporary injunctions in two separate court cases, one in California and another in Oklahoma. These legal decisions permit him to play for the Cowboys basketball team while his case proceeds to a final settlement. The Oklahoma case, filed in Payne County, also involved football player Iman Oates and soccer player Ellie Geoffroy.

Fallah, who previously played for Southern Utah and Oregon State, is seeking an additional year of eligibility due to his emigration from Iran. He has attached his case to the NCAA's new 'five-for-five' age-based legislation. If Fallah ultimately wins his legal battle, he could return to the court, although his recovery from a February ACL tear makes a January return for Big 12 play more realistic than the November season opener.

Should he be cleared to play, the 6-10 center would add significant experience and skill to the Cowboys' frontcourt. Last season, Fallah contributed 14.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. His potential return represents a significant boost for the team, contingent on the final outcome of his legal proceedings.
