Players' eligibility still in doubt
Seminoles need state law changed to play Saturday The Associated Press
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — An attorney for the state Board of Regents will ask a federal judge today to overturn a state law that has kept the NCAA from ruling on the eligibility of five Florida State football players.
Three players, including All-American linebacker Derrick Brooks, are due back for Saturday's game at Wake Forest after serving two-game suspensions handed out by the university. But only the NCAA can restore eligibility with member institutions.
"From our standpoint, we hope the NCAA winds up in a position where it can rule on what we've done." Florida State President Talbot "Sandy" D'Almebertia said yesterday. "We want a good, clear procedure to allow

usto go forward."
"That's what we hope to achieve," said Hart. "We will ask him to rule as quickly as he's comfortable doing it."
The regents, while not taking a position on the law, in effect agree with the NCAA, which sued last month to have the state law ruled unconstitutional.
The state law requires the NCAA to follow due process protections, provided to all residents, and prohibits the NCAA from operating in Florida under its own rules with member institutions.
But the NCAA, in no uncertain terms, reminded Florida State on Thursday that it is the only body that can restore an athlete's eligibility.
"I don't want players taking the field having any doubt what their status is," D'Alemberte said yesterday. "They ought to have their minds on the game."
Florida State would risk further sanctions at a later date if they allow the players to compete without NCAA approval.
Although the NCAA prevailed in similar court action last year in Nevada, the Florida attorney general's office will file briefs with its obligatory position standing behind the law which took effect in 1992 after being passed by the 1991 Legislature.
Brooks, tailback Tiger McMillon and offensive guard Marecus Long were suspended by Florida State for two games for accepting gifts last November from prospective agents.
Two others, guard Patrick McNeil and offensive tackle Forrest Conoly, are serving four-game suspensions.
