Clemson wide receiver Tristan Smith’s fight in court for another season of eligibility is now going to play out on a longer timetable.

Smith said that Saturday the date for his lawsuit against the NCAA was rescheduled and will be on a date later than previously scheduled, June 8, which will mark the second additional delay in a lawsuit that could decide whether he is allowed to play a fifth season in college football.
