The NCAA has reversed its ruling declaring Marine Corps veteran Steven Rhodes ineligible to play football, clearing him Monday afternoon to immediately return to the field for Middle Tennessee State.
"As a part of the ongoing review of NCAA rules, our members will examine the organized competition rules, especially as it impacts those returning from military service," Kevin Lennon, NCAA vice president of academic and membership affairs, said in a statement. "We thank Steven for his service to our country and wish him the best as he begins college."
