Two college basketball players<\/a> say they are owed an extra year of NCAA eligibility, and they are taking the matter to court.<\/p>\n

Chris Ledlum and Jordan Dingle<\/a> both played in the Ivy League before transferring to St. John’s, but the Ivy League season was not played in 2020-21 due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

But their waiver for a fifth year was denied by the NCAA \u2013 now, the players have filed a lawsuit in the Queens Supreme Court in New York.<\/p>\n

According to St. John’s student newspaper, “The Torch,”<\/a> the players are seeking “injunctive relief against the NCAA for Violation of Section 1 of the Donnelly Act; Violation of the New York State Human Rights Law Executive Section 290; and Violation of the New York State Education Law Right to Pursue Higher Education and Name, Image and Likeness.”<\/p>\n

The suit argued that they are suffering “irreparable harm” by not having an extra year of eligibility like most other athletes.<\/p>\n

“There are dire consequences for student-athletes that the NCAA labels ineligible. Consequences include: loss of scholarship, inhibited professional prospects, and inability to leverage Name, Image, and Likeness (‘NIL’) opportunities,” the filing reads.<\/p>\n

“If I got another year I don\u2019t see any reason I wouldn\u2019t want to be here,” Ledlum said to Newsday<\/a>. “I love Coach (Rick) Pitino. And this is home. I\u2019ve loved playing for St. John\u2019s.”<\/p>\n

“I love being in New York,” Dingle said. “I love being close to my family. I love the coaching staff and all my teammates here. I really had an amazing time this season and would love to pick up where I left off.”<\/p>\n

Both players declared for the NBA Draft<\/a> when their waivers were declined, but they have until late next month to pull out.<\/p>\n
