Judge rejects NCAA bid to dismiss order, clearing Missouri's Webb to play just over 24 hours later‎

Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz was in the midst of a 10-minute teleconference with reporters Wednesday when he learned that a St. Louis County judge had denied the NCAA's motion to dismiss a temporary restraining order, clearing defensive tackle Sterling Webb to play for the 25th-ranked Tigers this season. The news came little more than 24 hours before the opener against Arkansas Pine-Bluff on Thursday night. Such is the chaotic nature of college athletics these days, with a multitude of cases slowly winding their way through the judicial system with rosters across the country in limbo as the season begins.
