Jalen Washington Sues NCAA for Extra Year | SEC Basketball News

Jalen Washington, a former Vanderbilt basketball star, is suing the NCAA for an extra year of eligibility, arguing that the new age-based rules unfairly exclude him—despite helping future athletes. Transferred from North Carolina, he averaged 5.5 points and 3.7 rebounds at Vanderbilt and is set to play in the NBA Summer League. His legal team seeks a temporary restraining order to grant him that fifth season now, as the NCAA’s rule change, approved in 2026, could take effect as early as fall 2026. It’s a high-stakes legal battle with major implications for college athletes’ rights. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
