The NCAA Board emphasizes that it has no plans to modify the application of the new age-based eligibility rule in the wake of legal challenges.

Statement from the DI Board of Directors about age-based eligibility rules: “We are encouraged by the Division I membership's broad support of the age-based eligibility rules. The design of the new rules, including its implementation strategy, was thoughtful and well informed, and was unanimously supported by the Cabinet, including its student-athlete members. The Board has no plans to modify their application, notwithstanding a series of lawsuits recently filed on behalf of student-athletes with no remaining eligibility. We look forward to ensuring that the age-based eligibility rules are enforced consistently so that all institutions play by the same rules, like all participants in sports.”
