Tre White, Jayden Dawson file case against NCAA for eligibility
Summary

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.
