Judge clarifies NCAA eligibility order
[]
Tribune Chronicle
DENVER -- The judge who granted some athletes the right to play another year in college issued a new order Sunday that makes clear that does not include football players who signed pro contracts this summer then had a change of heart.
But the clarification said her ruling had no impact on other NCAA rules, which would include its prohibition on players signing pro contracts, then coming back to college.
But that appears to be off the table after Sweeney's clarification that said it was strictly about the players whose eligibility ended last school year.
Football teams, for instance, have already started practice for this season, while baseball doesn't start for a while.
That bill, being considered in the Senate, includes lawsuit protection for the NCAA over eligibility rules, the likes of which they are defending in several courts around the country.
