Ohio Supreme Court stays decision on UC, XU players' eligibility

The Ohio Supreme Court has stayed the Ohio Court of Appeals' ruling regarding the eligibility of MJ Collins from the University of Cincinnati and Filip Borovicanin from Xavier University. This comes after Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued an executive order declaring eligibility for certain student-athletes from the Class of 2022. The court has ordered both sides to submit briefs by 5 p.m. on October 19, addressing the impact of the governor's order. Earlier court decisions had fluctuated, leaving the players' eligibility uncertain. Both UC and Xavier recently played exhibition matches without their key players, Collins and Borovicanin, respectively.
