Kentucky appeals court ruling makes NCAA athlete Alex Afari ineligible
Original: Kentucky Court of Appeals sides with NCAA, making Alex Afari, others ineligible
The Kentucky Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of the NCAA in a case involving Kentucky football player Alex Afari, leaving him and other similarly situated athletes ineligible to compete. The decision is a setback for players who had sought to keep playing while their dispute with the NCAA was ongoing, and it is likely to draw scrutiny from athletes, schools and lawyers watching how eligibility fights over NCAA rules play out in the courts.
Why now: The ruling immediately changes the eligibility of named athletes and tests how far courts will go against NCAA rules.
