Wisconsin Badgers role player joins lawsuit seeking extra eligibility

Last season, transfer guard Braeden Carrington became one of the best-utilized pieces on the Wisconsin Badgers’ basketball team. While never starting a game, Carrington notched 8.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists. However, with the 2025-26 campaign being Carrington’s fourth year of collegiate basketball, it looked as if he had exhausted all of his time at the college level. Suddenly, a lawsuit among a group of athletes could grant Carrington one final year on the hardwood.

Just recently, ESPN reported that 24 men’s and women’s players were granted an injunction in the state of Ohio on the basis that the NCAA’s new age-based model was unfair.
