Phillips Cleared To Play

Nebraska running back Lawrence Phillips, facing an NCAA investigation, can play Thursday against Oklahoma State and in other games this season.

Carrie Doyle, the NCAA’s director of eligibility, said the NCAA has determined Phillips’ lunch with an employee of California sports agent Steve Feldman will not affect his eligibility.

The NCAA said it is investigating two other issues involving Phillips. One involves the 1995 Mustang convertible Phillips has been driving.
