(The Center Square) – The NCAA on Friday sued Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in federal court after the governor issued an executive order earlier this week giving Ohio colleges and universities the option to expand the eligibility options for some student-athletes.

“In June, the NCAA adopted a new eligibility model, giving all otherwise eligible student-athletes up to five years of competition,” DeWine said in a statement.
