Prospective Mizzou Guard Gunn Sues NCAA in Boone County for Fifth Season of Eligibility
CJ Gunn seeks a fifth year of eligibility after averaging 11.5 points in 11 five-point attempts per game last season, court records show.
- On Wednesday, Missouri basketball transfer CJ Gunn filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in Boone County, seeking a temporary restraining order for a fifth season of eligibility.
- The NCAA recently authorized five years of eligibility but declined to retroactively apply the rule to Class of 2022 players, prompting Gunn to argue the governing body's statements misled him into signing with Calgary Surge for $524.
- Judge Jeff Harris scheduled a hearing for Tuesday, October 13, in Columbia to consider Gunn's motion, building on his earlier involvement in a Dallas County lawsuit that secured temporary restraining order relief.
- Mizzou forward Mark Mitchell is also pursuing injunctive relief through the courts, though the NCAA frequently appeals such rulings, leaving both athletes' roster status uncertain as the season nears.
- To address his eligibility, Gunn has offered to repay the $524 and serve a one-for-one suspension before Missouri officially opens its season November 3 against Cleveland State.
