NCAA sues Ohio Gov. over order allowing schools to ignore new eligibility rule

The NCAA has filed a federal lawsuit against Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, three days after he signed an executive order granting fifth-year eligibility to Ohio's 2022 college athletes, effectively allowing Ohio schools to ignore the NCAA's new eligibility rule. The lawsuit challenges DeWine's authority to override NCAA regulations through an executive order. The dispute centers on whether state governments can unilaterally exempt their schools from national collegiate athletic governance rules.
