What’s next for Gophers basketball player Cade Tyson?
The court hearing could clear Tyson for a fifth season after he averaged 19.6 points per game last season.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver scheduled a special session hearing in Wisne vs. NCAA for Oct. 13, a key step determining Cade Tyson's eligibility for The Gophers.
Seeking a fifth year of eligibility, Tyson is part of a group trying to gain another season after the NCAA allowed players to partake in five seasons across five years. He previously played at Belmont, North Carolina, and Minnesota.
Gophers coach Niko Medved supports the veteran's effort, and although Minnesota currently has 15 players, Designated Student-Athletes might provide roster space for Tyson.
The Gophers host an exhibition game against Omaha on Oct. 15, with the season opener in Nov., and if eligible, Tyson could access Name, Image, and Likeness compensation.
Enrolled in classes, Tyson continues practicing with The Gophers while the Wisne vs. NCAA case remains the primary hurdle for his eligibility decision.
