Louisville basketball and Kentucky football both scored wins in Jefferson Count Circuit Court on Wednesday, Sept. 2.
That's when Judge Brian Edwards granted a motion extending a temporary restraining order stemming from a lawsuit against the NCAA to apply to Seth Trimble and Alex Afari Jr., who needed it to be eligible to suit up for the Cardinals and the Wildcats this season.
Trimble and Afari spent four seasons competing at the college level — the former at North Carolina, the latter at UK. But, after the NCAA adopted an age-based eligibility model allowing athletes five years to complete five seasons, members of the Class of 2022 across the county have taken legal action to obtain an additional year of eligibility.
The NCAA is appealing Edwards' ruling, which was originally issued Aug. 21 and applied to only 13 athletes at the time. In addition to Trimble and Afari, more than two dozen athletes were granted the temporary restraining order Wednesday.
