The state of Tennessee has won their injunction suit against the NCAA. The ruling in federal court halts the NCAA's NIL rules in Tennessee.

“For the reasons provided herein, Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction is granted,” the decision said. “It is hereby ordered that, effective immediately, Defendant NCAA; its servants, agents, and employees; and all persons in active conce11 or participation with the NCAA, are restrained and enjoined from enforcing the NCAA Interim NIL Policy, the NCAA Bylaws, or any other authority to the extent such authority prohibits student-athletes from negotiating compensation for NIL with any third-party entity, including but not limited to boosters or a collective of boosters, until a full and final decision on the merits in the instant action.

“It is further ordered that, effective immediately, the NCAA is restrained and enjoined from enforcing the Rule of Restitution as applied to the foregoing NIL activities until a full and final decision on the merits in the instant action.”

NCAA is dead for big time college football. Now the big schools need to get together and decide how they want to govern themselves in the future.

Can someone break down what this means for the NCAA case and for Tennessee moving forward? More cases to come or does the NCAA back off?

Step 1 was successful. Now, we have to continue fighting the NCAA if they do not drop the investigation.

From the linked article:

"The injunction was granted in the Eastern Tennessee District by Judge Clifton Corker, who found that NIL rules caused irreparable damage to athletes.

"In an apparent attempt to prohibit those (recruiting) inducements, the NCAA issued guidance classifying NIL collectives as 'boosters' to prevent them from negotiating with student-athletes during the recruiting and transfer processes," Corker said in his decision. "The NCAA's prohibition likely violates federal antitrust law and harms student-athletes. "Accordingly, (plaintiffs) are entitled to a preliminary injunction enjoining enforcement of the NCAA's 'NIL-recruiting ban.'""

Judge grants injunction in Tennessee vs. NCAA as federal court freezes NIL rules

A federal judge in Tennessee granted a preliminary injunction, suspending NCAA rules regarding NIL benefits for athletes and easing UT's stress.

so does this apply nation wide or only in the state of Tennessee?

so does this apply nation wide or only in the state of Tennessee?

I think it applies to the NCAA, wherever they are. So, yes, nationwide.

My guess is that since it is in a Federal Court, and federal law is referenced, it would be nationwide. That's just my guess. I'm not a lawyer.

It's federal so it applies nationwide.

As a bonus, Florida and FSU look like chumps for buckling to the NCAA on NIL issues.

"ncaa investigator wanted the Big Orange bad
Went up to greeneville with everything he had
I wasnt there cause I was told
but you never come back from Copperhead Road"

 

[ENGRVOL]

It should just apply to us given that we stuck our necks out to fight this. Let other schools squirm under the threat of ncaa investigations.

Hey recruits. The State of Tennessee AND The University of Tennessee fought for your rights and financial benefits when all of the other SEC schools sat on the sidelines.
