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.
