  "account": "University of Houston has decided not to re-sign kicker Ethan Sanchez following the granting of an additional year of eligibility, according to a source familiar with the situation. Sanchez had the second-most field goals in school history last season, with 21 successful kicks. The decision comes after a Dallas judge issued a temporary restraining order on Thursday, preventing the NCAA, SEC, and their commissioner Greg Sankey from stopping the group of 41 players who are returning for a fifth season.",
