Trey Kaufman-Renn sues the NCAA seeking additional college basketball eligibility

Former Purdue forward Trey Kaufman-Renn has filed a motion in Indiana state court to secure a sixth season of collegiate basketball eligibility. Represented by attorney Mickey K. Weber, the motion seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the NCAA, arguing that the organization’s new age-based eligibility model unfairly restricts athletes whose eligibility expired after the 2025-26 season. Kaufman-Renn, selected 59th overall in the June NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, has not yet signed a professional contract. His legal team contends that the NCAA’s removal of medical hardship waivers creates a restraint of trade by preventing him from competing for institutional rosters. While the motion mentions interest from multiple schools, a return to Purdue is considered unlikely due to current roster constraints and recent recruiting additions. A hearing for the motion is scheduled for Tuesday in Clark County Circuit Court.
