    THE POST


    A federal judge's ruling last month that freshman eligibility standards used by the NCAA are discriminatory has sent a ripple through the organization's 302 Division I institutions that are evaluating their recruiting pools for the spring signing season.

    On March 8, U.S. District Judge Ronald Buckwalter struck down Proposition 16, temporarily banning the NCAA's standards for athletes participating in their first year of eligibility. Three weeks later, a U.S. Court of Appeals granted a stay, restoring the academic requirements under Prop 16 for the 1999-2000 academic year.
