Braeden Carrington begins pursuit of additional eligibility after NCAA changes

Braeden Carrington, former Wisconsin men's basketball player, is seeking another year of eligibility amid ongoing legal challenges against the NCAA. He is part of a lawsuit involving over 45 athletes who, unlike current players, do not qualify for extended eligibility due to new age-based rules. A judge recently granted a preliminary injunction benefiting 24 basketball players, adding complexity to Carrington's situation. He continues training with Wisconsin's 2026-27 team while the program looks to fill its final roster spot amidst this uncertainty.
