Four Duke and UNC football players (former Tar Heel J.J. Jones), all of whom have played at least four years in college and earned their degrees, want an additional year of collegiate eligibility. But a North Carolina judge declined to grant them one Tuesday, saying he wasn’t prepared to upend the NCAA’s eligibility rules based on the evidence so far. (WRAL Sports Fan)
