Judge adds Trimble to eligibility lawsuit, extends TRO for Afari Jr.
Both Seth Trimble and Alex Afari Jr. are seeking fifth years of eligibility at the college level.
On Wednesday, September 2, Louisville basketball and Kentucky football both achieved victories in Jefferson County Circuit Court. Judge Brian Edwards extended a temporary restraining order (TRO) related to a lawsuit against the NCAA to include Seth Trimble and Alex Afari Jr. The new TRO allows both athletes to participate in the upcoming seasons for their respective teams.
Trimble and Afari, who spent four seasons at the college level — one at North Carolina and the other at the University of Kentucky — are part of the Class of 2022 that took legal action after the NCAA implemented an age-based eligibility model. This model allows athletes five years to complete five seasons. The NCAA is currently appealing Judge Edwards' ruling, which was initially issued on August 21 and initially applied to 13 athletes. As of now, more than two dozen athletes have been granted the TRO on the same day.
