Judge denies Alex Steen an injunction for extra Florida State eligibility

Leon County Circuit Court Judge David M. Frank denied an emergency motion for a temporary and preliminary injunction sought by former Florida State forward Alex Steen. Steen is currently engaged in a lawsuit against the NCAA to secure a fifth season of college basketball eligibility for the 2026-27 campaign. The court ruled that Steen failed to demonstrate irreparable harm or prove that his request would serve the public interest. Judge Frank noted that claimed financial losses were speculative and that potential NIL income could be addressed through monetary damages. The decision does not end the underlying lawsuit, which will proceed toward an evidentiary hearing on the merits. Both parties have been ordered to submit a proposed scheduling order within five days to determine the next steps in the case.
