"CINCINNATI (AP) — Quarterback Ben Mauk has lost his latest appeal to the NCAA for another year of eligibility.
The NCAA informed the University of Cincinnati on Wednesday that Mauk had been turned down again.
The case fell into confusion this week. On Monday an NCAA representative told Mauk's lawyer the appeal had been turned down. The next day his lawyer got another call saying the staff was still considering the case. On Wednesday, the university said it was informed by the NCAA that the decision was final.
Mauk led the Bearcats to 10 wins and a No. 17 final ranking last season, when he came back from serious shoulder and arm injuries. He appealed for another season on grounds that injuries sidelined him during his career at Wake Forest and Cincinnati. He's been turned down four times now."
