I Mauk The NCAA

University of Cincinnati quarterback Ben Mauk is throwing a hail mary for one more year of eligibility. Mauk, who had multiple injury issues when he quarterbacked at Wake Forest, is trying to get a 6th year of eligibility with the Bearcats. The NCAA Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee denied Mauk’s final appeal last Friday.

Now Mauk has taken the next step, the legal process. Mauk has sued the NCAA and Judge William D. Hart in Hardin County (Ohio) Common Pleas court granted a restraining order saying the NCAA cannot prevent Mauk from practicing with the University of Cincinnati.

There is a catch though. Should Mauk play and the NCAA prevails in court, then the Bearcats would forfeit games and have to return bowl money should Cincinnati go to the post season.
