Quick Summary

Keyshawn Hall, a high-scoring basketball player transferring from Auburn to St. John’s in August, has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in Queens Supreme Court seeking permission to play his fifth season. The suit argues that the NCAA's eligibility rule change does not apply retroactively to players like Hall who are part of the 2022 high school class, thereby excluding them from playing an extra year despite other players being eligible under the new rules starting in 2026-27.

Story summary

Keyshawn Hall, a high-scoring basketball player transferred from Auburn to St. John’s in late August 2023, has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in Queens Supreme Court seeking permission to play his fifth season. The NCAA recently implemented an eligibility rule granting players five years of competition but excluded the class of 2022, which Hall belongs to. His attorney argues that this exclusion breaches contractual obligations and seeks injunctive relief allowing him to compete for St. John’s in the upcoming season starting August 1, 2026. The suit claims that under the new rule, any player within five years of initial enrollment and who was younger than 19 at entry should be eligible for the 2026-27 academic year.
