The NCAA's Elastic Clock: When Time Runs Out for Experience The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has long been criticized for its opaque and sometimes arbitrary decision making processes, but few issues have sparked as much debate in recent years as the issue of player eligibility.
This debate took a new turn last week when U. S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney granted players like Cole Hutson, a former Texas Longhorns lineman, the right to play another year of college sports.
Hutson's case is not unique; numerous other players have sought to prolong their collegiate careers under similar circumstances.
