Alex Steen, Florida State’s senior forward, is launching a legal battle to play one more season — arguing he’s been unfairly excluded from the NCAA’s new “five-in-five” eligibility rule that grants athletes five years of competition. Filing suit in Leon County Circuit Court on August 14, Steen contends his class is an unexplained exception to the policy that already benefited earlier and later classes, including those impacted by COVID-19. With the 2026-27 season looming and roster spots locked down, he’s seeking urgent court orders to block the NCAA from blocking his eligibility, enforcing roster limits against him, or penalizing any team he joins — demanding fairness as opportunities vanish.
