NIAA settles lawsuit, will let international students at Excel play varsity sports

The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA) says it will let international students at Excel Christian School play varsity sports. The Reno Gazette-Journal reports the settlement decision comes after a group of students at the Sparks school sued in a federal equal rights lawsuit last month. The lawsuit came after the NIAA threatened to cancel Excel’s athletic seasons for allowing international students to play.
