The NCAA has initiated a federal lawsuit against Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, according to reports from ESPN and Fox Sports. Both outlets reported that the action came three days after DeWine issued an executive order permitting Ohio colleges and universities to grant an additional fifth season of eligibility to athletes who finished high school in 2022, bypassing current association regulations.
According to Fox Sports, the lawsuit was submitted Friday in an Ohio federal court. NCAA President Charlie Baker characterized the filing as an "extraordinary step" intended to ensure programs across the country play on equal terms, while the complaint alleged DeWine was attempting to provide Ohio schools with an unwarranted competitive edge.
Fox Sports also reported that the dispute coincides with action in state courts, where the Ohio Supreme Court moved to examine the legality of DeWine's directive. In doing so, the state high court temporarily stayed an appellate ruling concerning basketball player Filip Borovicanin and set a Monday deadline for legal briefs.
