Fifty-two student-athletes filed a lawsuit against the NCAA on Thursday, July 30, seeking an extra year of eligibility in North Carolina.
According to multiple reports, the lawsuit is seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction for more than 50 student-athletes to play this upcoming 2025-26 college basketball season after the NCAA adjusted its eligibility guidelines last month to a five-year model.
Headlining the list of student-athletes is former North Carolina State forward Darrion Williams , while former Ohio State guard Tyana Todd is the lone women's basketball player listed as a plaintiff, according to Field of 68 Network's Jeff Goodman.

Williams averaged 14.0 points and 4.6 rebounds per game while shooting 41.4% from the field in 33 starts last season for the Wolfpack. There are over 10 players from a North Carolina-based university or college among the plaintiffs.
The age-based eligibility model that the NCAA adopted begins a student-athlete’s five-year eligibility clock upon full-time enrollment at a university or at the beginning of the academic year following their 19th birthday, whichever comes first.
The "5-for-5" eligibility model also eliminates traditional redshirts and waivers for extra eligibility, aside from special circumstances like pregnancy, military service or religious missions.
