NCAA sues Ohio governor over his executive order allowing schools to ignore new eligibility rule
The NCAA says the order gives Ohio schools an unfair advantage by letting 2022 graduates play a fifth season, and it seeks to block enforcement.
- On Friday, the NCAA filed a federal lawsuit against Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, challenging an executive order signed three days earlier.
- DeWine signed the executive order on Tuesday, granting a year of availability to athletes from the Class of 2022 who had exhausted their four-year NCAA eligibility under previous rules.
- NCAA President Charlie Baker called the lawsuit an "extraordinary step" designed to prevent DeWine from giving Ohio universities an "unfair, unprecedented and unwarranted competitive advantage."
- The lawsuit asks a federal judge to declare DeWine's order has no "force of law" and to prohibit enforcement under federal and state law.
- Baker urged Congress to pass the Protect College Sports Act as soon as possible, arguing that individual officials should not create localized eligibility rules.
