Stephen Daley, Kellan Wyatt get injunction to play for Hoosiers
Key Points:
- Indiana defensive linemen Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt have been granted eligibility to play again after a judge issued a preliminary injunction against the NCAA's restrictions on their fifth season of play.
- Monroe Circuit Court Judge Kara Krothe ruled that the NCAA cannot prevent these athletes and others involved in the case from competing in the 2026-27 season under the new five-for-five rule.
- The ruling follows a hearing on September 14 and reverses the NCAA's prior denial of additional eligibility based on previous seasons played or transfer portal status.
- Daley and Wyatt missed Indiana's recent game due to the expiration of a temporary restraining order but are now cleared to return as the Hoosiers begin Big Ten play.
- The NCAA is expected to appeal the ruling, continuing the legal dispute over athlete eligibility related to the five-for-five rule.
