Melvin Council Jr. Sues NCAA for Extra Year | Wichita News

Melvin Council Jr. is suing the NCAA to extend his college eligibility, arguing the current rules unfairly penalize athletes who played at non-NCAA schools — a path he took through Monroe College, Wagner, and St. Bonaventure. Though granted a temporary waiver to play for Kansas last season, his lawsuit seeks an extra year to compete in 2026-27, a season that could see him join a powerhouse Jayhawks team. The NCAA’s new eligibility rule, limiting play to five years within five years of high school graduation, adds complexity to his case — but with his one-season impact already proven, this legal battle could reshape his legacy.

Kansas Needs a Governor Who Can Deliver | Wichita News

Running for governor to stop Ty Masterson from taking the reins, this candidate vows to build on Governor Kelly’s successes and unite Kansas around three urgent priorities: saving 28 rural hospitals, overhauling K-14 education funding, and tackling the state’s water crisis—from the Ogallala aquifer to silting reservoirs. With a track record of bipartisan wins as mayor of Overland Park—including beating a MAGA Republican—the candidate argues their local leadership and ability to bridge divides make them the only realistic hope to fix Kansas’ broken legislature and reverse population and job losses.
