Indiana’s football season opener just got a major boost as Stephen Daley and Kellen Wyatt, two key players sidelined by NCAA eligibility rules, are cleared to play thanks to a court order — giving the defending champs a crucial edge against North Texas. The legal win stems from a broader fight by seven athletes, including Daley and Wyatt, who argue they should be granted an extra year of eligibility under the new NCAA rule — despite not seeking transfers or NFL dreams. Daley, a standout defensive lineman who returned after a knee injury, and Wyatt, a vital linebacker, are now poised to lead Indiana into 2026. A hearing is set for September 11 to decide on a permanent injunction, while basketball star Malik Reneau joins the lawsuit — adding another layer to this unfolding battle over athlete rights and college sports rules.
