A federal judge has allowed four football players fighting NCAA eligibility rules to compete at West Virginia this season.

Welcome to SB Nation’s NCAA volleyball power rankings:

According to Softball America, softball will follow the format of college volleyball and women's soccer with the seeding of 32 teams. Only the top 16 seeds, which hosted the regional, were previously seeded. In theory, the committee is seeking to reward the top seeds with "easier" matchups.

Evie Parts, a transgender woman, argues the NCAA and Swarthmore violated state and federal law by barring her from the college’s women’s track team.

To create more favorable matchups in the regional round, teams will now be seeded 1-32, according to a report.

The recent NCAA report detailed a fractured dynamic between the football program and the school’s compliance department.

Swarthmore College responded to a lawsuit that alleges it removed a trans athlete from a women's team to comply with NCAA policy but then reinstated that athlete.

The Mercury made a late season roster move this week with the signing of Kiana Williams to a rest of the season contract.
