Ohio Supreme Court Keeps Two Dozen Basketball Players Eligible with Season Openers Looming
The ruling preserves eligibility for about two dozen players as the NCAA and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine battle over a fifth season of play.
- On Thursday, the Ohio Supreme Court issued an order keeping two dozen student-athletes eligible for the upcoming basketball season, maintaining a stay on a lower-court ruling that would have declared them ineligible.
- Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine issued an executive order granting 2022 high school graduates a fifth year of eligibility, defying NCAA rules that excluded the class of '22 from the new five-season policy.
- Players including Xavier's Filip Borovicanin, Gonzaga's Javon Bennett, Cincinnati's MJ Collins, and Auburn's Kolby King are central to the case, which has triggered dozens of lawsuits nationwide creating roster uncertainty for coaches.
- The NCAA sued DeWine in federal court, contending the executive order made it impossible for schools to compete on a level playing field across the country.
- With the college basketball season beginning next week, the court's recent ruling preserves eligibility for the two dozen athletes while the legal proceedings continue.
