NCAA court ruling puts Indiana football players Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt in limbo
Summary

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit has granted the NCAA's motion to stay a previous ruling that allowed 2022 student-athletes an additional year of eligibility. As a result, Indiana football players Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt, who had been preparing for a fifth year, are now unable to participate in games. They can still practice while awaiting further clarity on their eligibility, contingent on the upcoming appellate court ruling. This decision does not affect Indiana basketball player Sam Alexis, who has secured a fifth year through a separate court injunction.
