NCAA Lawsuit Demands Fifth Year Eligibility | Big 12 Basketball News

Tamin Lipsey and dozens of other student-athletes are suing the NCAA to get a fifth year of eligibility, arguing they were unfairly excluded from the “Five-for-Five” rule because they played four seasons straight after graduating high school in 2022 — unlike athletes who benefited from COVID waivers. The plaintiffs, including former Iowa State player Jackson Paveletzke, want to return to their schools for the 2026-27 season and seek immediate access to the transfer portal, while also blocking the NCAA’s “Rule of Restitution.” They’re challenging what they see as an inconsistent system that favors former pros over college veterans.
