The NCAA reversed course amid public pressure Monday, granting Oakland University basketball player and U.S. Army veteran Isaiah Brock his immediate eligibility. 

Jeff Goodman of ESPN reported the news, citing a school statement.

College sports' governing body had previously ruled Brock ineligible because of his high school grades. As noted by Gary Parrish of CBS Sports, Brock had a qualifying standardized test score and proved he was able to do college schoolwork.
