Ohio State not expected to be impacted by order granting 5th year of eligibility
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has issued an executive order granting student-athletes from the 2022 class a fifth year of eligibility at Ohio schools.
College athletes who began their careers in 2022 will be eligible for the 2026-27 season in Ohio, according to a new executive order signed by Governor Mike DeWine on October 13. This order prevents Ohio colleges from enforcing eligibility restrictions imposed by the NCAA, allowing players from the class of 2022 who had exhausted their four-year eligibility clock to fully participate in intercollegiate athletics.
There are some exceptions to this rule, such as age and participation in professional sports leagues. The NCAA is contesting eligibility appeals from the 2022 class at the federal level, but it is not expected to impact Ohio State's men's or women's basketball programs, whose rosters are already set for the upcoming season.
