PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Seton Hall basketball recruit who was declared ineligible to play has sued the Big East Conference and the NCAA.

Michael Glover enrolled at Seton Hall in 2007, but was ruled ineligible that fall after the NCAA invalidated his entire senior year transcript from American Christian Academy in Pennsylvania.

Glover, a 6-foot-6 forward from the Bronx, says in his suit that the NCAA never gave a reason for invalidating the transcript.

The suit asks a judge to declare Glover eligible to play, award him the equivalent of four years tuition at Seton Hall and compensatory damages.

The lawsuit was filed last month in U.S. District Court in Providence, where the Big East is based. The NCAA on Monday asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit.
