A judge in Indiana ruled in favor of college athletes, issuing a preliminary injunction that allows Kenyon Giles of Wichita State and Tre White of Kansas to play another year of college basketball. The NCAA plans to appeal this decision, which temporarily blocks enforcement of its eligibility rules. Last season, Giles averaged 19.1 points per game, leading the Shockers, while White contributed 13.5 points and 6.7 rebounds for the Jayhawks. The college basketball regular season starts on November 2, creating urgency for the NCAA to respond.
