NCAA Division I board: No plans to change age-based eligibility

The NCAA Division I Board reaffirmed on Thursday that it has no plans to alter its new age-based eligibility rule, despite legal challenges from some college athletes seeking to extend their careers. The rule has prompted several athletes to take the matter to court in an effort to overturn or circumvent the eligibility restrictions. The board's stance signals that the organization intends to maintain the age-based framework as part of its eligibility guidelines.
