Former Purdue Star Trey Kaufman-Renn Granted TRO as He Seeks 5th Year of Eligibility

The ruling lets Kaufman-Renn seek a sixth college season after he said six or seven teams had shown interest in him.

  • On Wednesday, Sept. 9, a Clark County Circuit Court judge granted former Purdue forward Trey Kaufman-Renn a temporary restraining order against the NCAA, allowing him to pursue a sixth year of college eligibility.
  • Kaufman-Renn seeks to utilize the NCAA's five-for-five model, arguing his redshirt season should count toward eligibility; despite his five-year tenure with the Boilermakers, he confirmed he will not return to Purdue.
  • Selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2026 NBA Draft, Kaufman-Renn never signed a contract. He stated he can earn "significantly more" money by returning to college than as a late-second round pick.
  • Kaufman-Renn told reporters on Tuesday that "six or seven" different schools have expressed interest in the Sellersburg, Indiana native for the upcoming 2026-27 season.
  • Purdue coach Matt Painter said during the Inside College Basketball Nowpodcast that while he wouldn't oppose players transferring elsewhere, the team's roster decisions are finalized and "there's just no way" to take back other former players.
