Tre White and Jayden Dawson, former Kansas basketball players, have joined a legal case against the NCAA seeking eligibility to compete in the 2026-27 season. They are part of a lawsuit challenging a recent NCAA rule change that allows certain athletes five seasons of competition without redshirting. Dawson potentially aims to transfer to the University of Nebraska or Iowa should his eligibility be granted. The lawsuit cites exclusionary practices affecting players from the 2022 class, limiting their ability to monetize their athletic skills through NIL opportunities. A temporary restraining order related to the case expired recently, and court proceedings are ongoing.

- •Dawson made 24 appearances, starting once for Kansas.
- •The lawsuit seeks to redefine eligibility for certain athletes.
- •Court has requested further submissions by Thursday.
- •Both players have opportunities to transfer if eligible.
