NCAA Rule Change Leaves Steen Behind | Florida State Seminoles Football News

Alex Steen, a former Florida State basketball player, is suing the NCAA to gain a fifth year of eligibility — a benefit now being granted to athletes starting in 2026-27 — arguing he deserves the same opportunity as others despite graduating high school in 2022. The NCAA’s own admission that five years is “what is best for student-athletes” only strengthens his case, as he’s been denied this chance despite overcoming injuries, excelling academically and on the court, and having multiple schools eager to offer him a spot. With eight prior court rulings in his favor, Steen’s legal team is confident he’ll get the chance to continue his development — and potentially pursue a pro career — before it’s too late.
