俄亥俄州长签署行政令 2022届大学运动员可获第五年参赛资格
据美国体育媒体10月13日报道，俄亥俄州州长迈克·德瓦恩当日签署行政令，允许2022届大学运动员获得第五年参赛资格，并禁止州内高校执行NCAA与之相关的限制规定。
行政令称，该届运动员的大学体育生涯受到特殊时期影响，州政府决定以行政令方式延长其参赛资格窗口。命令同时要求俄亥俄州高校不得因运动员行使这一额外参赛年而对其施加处罚。
大学运动员参赛资格年限由NCAA规则统一规定，近年多州围绕运动员权益出台州级法规与行政措施，与全国协会规则之间的关系备受体育界关注。

Ohio Governor Signs Order Granting Fifth Year of Eligibility to 2022 College Athletes
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed an executive order on Oct. 13 granting college athletes from the class of 2022 a fifth year of competition eligibility and barring the state's colleges from enforcing related NCAA restrictions, according to U.S. sports media reports.
The order states that the college careers of that class of athletes were affected by extraordinary circumstances and extends their eligibility window by executive action. It also prohibits Ohio colleges from penalizing athletes who use the additional year.
Eligibility limits for college athletes are set nationally by NCAA rules. In recent years several states have adopted laws and executive measures on athlete rights, drawing attention to how state actions interact with the national association's rules.
The governor's office said the order takes effect immediately and applies to eligible athletes at Ohio colleges, with school athletic departments to adjust rosters accordingly.
