In this Oct. 13, 2007, file photo, Cincinnati quarterback Ben Mauk (9) passes under pressure from Louisville linebacker Malik Jackson (11) during a football game in Cincinnati. Mauk has lost his final appeal to the NCAA for more playing time. Mauk was turned down Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2008, by the NCAA's reinstatement committee, the last available step in his eligibility appeals process. It was the fifth time that he had been turned down by the NCAA staff or its reinstatement committee. (AP Photo/Al Behrman, File)
