IU football’s Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt, basketball’s Sam Alexis and dozens of other class of 2022 athletes remain eligible after a Monday development in an Indiana court. Judge Kara Krothe determined the NCAA is not likely to win on appeal and denied the organization’s request for emergency stay of the preliminary injunction granted in a Monroe County Court. The NCAA has successfully obtained stays of injunctions in some instances, but Krothe ruled the NCAA has not shown it will suffer irreparable harm if the preliminary injunction stands. Daley, Wyatt, Alexis and their fellow plaintiffs have sued the NCAA after…

Stephen Daley is looking more and more like the elite defense end who celebrated on the field following Indiana’s 2025 Big Ten championship win over Ohio State. It’s been quite the journey from the field at Lucas Oil Stadium last December back to Bloomington. That celebration would result in the end of his fourth college season, but in strange twist of fate, would ultimately open the door for another run at Indiana. After suffering a major knee injury during the celebration, Daley missed Indiana’s College Football Playoff run and was not in a position to work out for NFL teams…
