Trey Kaufman-Renn seeks sixth year of NCAA eligibility through court order

Summary

Former Purdue forward Trey Kaufman-Renn has filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against the NCAA to pursue a sixth year of college eligibility. The legal action follows his selection as the 59th overall pick by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2026 NBA Draft. Although Kaufman-Renn participated in the NBA Summer League and a team trip to France, he has not signed a professional contract. Under current NCAA rules based on age and academic history, he has reached his limit for competition. An emergency hearing regarding his eligibility request is scheduled for Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. CT before a judge in Clark County, Indiana. A successful ruling would allow him to bypass current regulations and enroll at a member institution for the 2026-2027 season.
