NCAA says it's still considering Mauk's latest appeal for more playing time
CINCINNATI -- The NCAA said Tuesday that it's still considering quarterback
Ben Mauk's latest appeal for more playing time, contrary to what it told his lawyer a day earlier.
Lawyer Kevin Murphy received a phone call Monday night from an NCAA representative, informing him that the staff had denied Mauk's request for another season of eligibility. Murphy was told that Mauk could talk to the NCAA's reinstatement committee by phone on Thursday, pleading his case for the final time.
On Tuesday, Murphy said he got another phone call from the same NCAA representative telling him the staff was still considering the matter and hadn't ruled, contrary to what he had been told.
