The Ohio Supreme Court has ordered briefing on the impact of Gov. Mike DeWine's executive order on the Borovicanin v. NCAA five-for-five eligibility case. Boise State Assoc. Professor Sam Ehrlich adds: “In the meantime, it has stayed the decision of the Ohio Court of Appeals -- restoring the lower court's injunction and making those players eligible.” (link)

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit appears poised to reverse a nationwide injunction that would grant a fifth year of eligibility to the high school class of 2022, a potential major legal victory for the NCAA, Sportico's Michael McCann observes. During oral arguments in the Wisne case yesterday, McCann notes NCAA attorney Rakesh Kilaru successfully pressed the argument that the plaintiffs' antitrust claims lacked sufficient market data, warning that allowing the return of former players would actively drive down athlete wages through labor oversupply while displacing current roster members.

Meanwhile, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) issued an executive order Tuesday stating that “no state institution of higher education or private college or university in Ohio shall uphold any rule, requirement, standard or other limitation that prevents a student-athlete of that institution or college in the Class of 2022 from fully participating in intercollegiate athletics in the 2026-27 academic year, regardless of whether the student-athlete completed four seasons of intercollegiate competition or exhausted eligibility under 2025-26 NCAA regulations or any prior regulations, and regardless of any athletic authority's interpretation of applicable NCAA eligibility bylaws.” (link)

NCAA President Charlie Baker indicated in a statement that “the Governor of Ohio cannot legislate NCAA eligibility rules. One elected official seeking to make their own rules for their own schools' advantage is a terrible way to run athletic competitions and precisely why Congress must pass the PCSA as soon as possible. And not only did NCAA members vote unanimously to implement the aged based eligibility change in this way, the Ohio Court of Appeals just recently agreed with that decision. … Eligibility rules established through the Association's governance process have been and will continue to be applied consistently across the membership by the NCAA including in the state of Ohio.” (link)
