Summary
A landmark lawsuit led by Jalen Washington is pushing the NCAA to grant athletes a fifth year of eligibility, with a potential rollout by fall 2026. While the new rule aims to create a fairer, more realistic path for student-athletes balancing academics and sports, it also shines a spotlight on past injustices—like those faced by Jason Edwards, a standout guard whose career has bounced between schools and whose resilience against doubters makes this fight deeply personal. The change may fix the future, but it’s forcing a reckoning with how some athletes were treated before the clock started ticking again.
