Mauk sues NCAA
Quarterback Ben Mauk has launched a legal Hail Mary in an effort to keep his college football career alive.
Mauk filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, less than a week after the association rejected his final appeal for another year of eligibility at Cincinnati.
The same day the lawsuit was filed, Hardin County Judge William Hart in Mauk’s home area of Kenton, Ohio, granted a temporary restraining order that says the NCAA cannot prevent him from practicing with the Bearcats.
Mauk was a key player as Cincinnati rose to college football’s Top 25 last season.
