An Ohio judge will make a ruling next week on a preliminary injunction request from 24 men’s and women’s college basketball players suing the NCAA in a state court, claiming the new age-based model unfairly shuts them out of further competition. Judge Christopher Wagner previously denied a temporary restraining order hours after the lawsuit was filed. He said Wednesday during a hearing on that his written order will be made on July 9. The lawsuit was filed shortly after the NCAA Division I Cabinet approved a monumental change in eligibility rules last month.

Illinois State and Bradley along with several other MVC programs will have select men's and women's basketball games on COZI 17.2 in central Illinois.
