NCAA denies final appeal of Cincinnati QB Ben Mauk

09/03/2008 -
Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - University of Cincinnati quarterback Ben
Mauk had his request for reconsideration on his original waiver for a sixth
year of eligibility denied for the final time by the NCAA on Wednesday.
The NCAA reinstatement committee upheld the NCAA staff decision.
"Our review of the facts as presented and possible mitigating factors for this
eligibility request was extensive and thorough, exhausting all avenues in the
administrative procedures and ensuring a fair process for this student-
athlete," said Carol Iwaoka, NCAA Division I Student-Athlete reinstatement
committee chair and associate commissioner of the Big Ten Conference. "Even
after reviewing the latest information, the committee was unable to identify
compelling factors that might be viewed as beyond the control of the student-
athlete and the University of Cincinnati."
NCAA rules indicate that a Division I student-athlete can complete his or her
four seasons within five years from initial full-time enrollment.
An original request for reconsideration was based on new information submitted
regarding a foot injury Mauk suffered during his high school career. Prior to
enrolling at Wake Forest University, Mauk required an additional operation on
the foot in the spring of 2003.
The student-athlete reinstatement committee is a panel of athletics directors,
faculty representatives, and conference commissioners who has the authority to
determine all matters pertaining to the policies and procedures for the
reinstatement of eligibility for a student-athlete.
In January of 2008, Mauk first attempted to regain the year he lost in 2003
when he sat out the season at Wake Forest.
Mauk spent four years with the Demon Deacons before graduating and
transferring to Cincinnati for the 2007-08 academic year. He sat out the
2003 season as a redshirt and played in 18 games for Wake Forest from
2004-06. He broke his right arm and dislocated his shoulder in the first game
of the 2006 season at Wake Forest, and missed the entire season.
Mauk played in 12 of 13 games with Cincinnati during the 2007 season, and set
a program record with 31 passing touchdowns. He helped lead UC to 10-3 record
including a victory in the Papajohns.com Bowl.
The graduate-transfer ended the year completing 235-of-386 passes for 3,121
yards.
