Ohio Judge Issues Injunction for Players Suing NCAA Over Eligibility

In a federal court in Ohio, a judge granted a preliminary injunction for a lawsuit brought by 24 male and female college basketball athletes against the NCAA. The players argue that the organization’s new age‑based eligibility model unfairly excludes them from competition.

The court order temporarily halts enforcement of the rule while the case proceeds, raising broader questions about age criteria in collegiate sports.
