Braeden Carrington is officially eligible for his fifth season of college basketball, a huge win that dropped on October 20 when a California judge issued an injunction in the Glancey vs. NCAA case. This is massive for Wisconsin men’s basketball, especially with the regular season just around the corner.
The Court Just Cleared Him, For Now
This whole thing is wild, right? Reports from CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein and others confirm this injunction means Carrington, along with the other plaintiffs in the case, can suit up for the 2026-27 season. But here’s the kicker: the NCAA is notorious for appealing these kinds of rulings. So, while Carrington is good to go for now with the regular season kicking off in less than two weeks, don’t think this legal battle is actually over. It’s more like a timeout than a final buzzer.
Carrington’s Already Ready to Roll
Carrington’s been locked in already, too. Just last week, on October 15, he was out there in their preseason game against UW-Green Bay. Wisconsin beat UW-Green Bay 96-77 at the Resch Center. Carrington was right in the action, getting fouled twice in the second half, first by Mac Wrecke and then again by Clarence Payia. It shows he’s a crucial part of what Wisconsin wants to do, so getting this injunction before the regular season starts is huge.
With the regular season tipping off in less than two weeks, this injunction is huge because it means Carrington is eligible to play right away. While the NCAA consistently appeals these kinds of rulings, and his legal fight isn’t necessarily over, the immediate impact is that he’s on the court when it counts. That’s all that matters right now for Wisconsin hoops.
