Two Indiana players get TRO to return for 2026
Key Points:
- Indiana players Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt won a temporary restraining order allowing them to compete in the 2026-27 college sports season, issued by Judge Kara Krothe.
- The ruling prohibits the NCAA and any conferences from barring the players from participating, effectively restoring their eligibility as if they had a fifth year to play.
- The players returned to Indiana's program in early August, but their eligibility status remained uncertain until the court's decision.
- The Big Ten conference has not taken the same punitive actions against Indiana as the SEC has against LSU amid similar eligibility controversies.
- Indiana's season begins Saturday against North Texas, but it is still unclear if Daley and Wyatt will participate in the game.
