Florida State would violate NCAA rules if several suspended football players are allowed to play while the group’s legal challenge of a state law remains unresolved, the NCAA told the school.

A federal court hearing is scheduled Tuesday in the NCAA’s lawsuit to overturn the state’s so-called “due process” law that has prevented the NCAA from acting on the eligibility of a handful of Florida State players who took part in an illegal shopping spree in November 1993.

The school suspended five players. All-American linebacker Derrick Brooks, tailback Tiger McMillon and guard Marcus Long were suspended for two games, guard Patrick McNeil for three games and offensive tackle Forrest Conoly for four games.

Brooks, McMillon and Long will be eligible to play in the game at Wake Forest on Sept. 17.

McNeil was suspended Thursday for the Seminoles’ fourth game against North Carolina for an unspecified violation of team policy.

Defensive tackle Rhodney Williams, who was already suspended for the first two games for a violation of academic policy and reporting late for fall practice, will be held out of the Wake Forest game for a second violation of academic policy.
