Notable from across intercollegiate athletics: Eastern Tennessee District Judge Clifton Corker has issued a preliminary injunction for the attorneys general in Tennessee and Virginia in their suit against the NCAA, thus suspending NCAA NIL rules. Corker: “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. 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.’” (link)

The American sports betting industry recorded $10.92B in revenue for 2023 with a total handle of $119.84B, according to the American Gaming Association's annual report. The record revenue figure represents a 44.5% YoY increase, while the handle, also a record high, is 27.8% higher than 2022. AGA SVP of Government Relations Chris Cylke is tempering expectations for 2024: "I think we're in some ways victims of our own success over the past five years in that we now have 38 states plus DC that have already taken the step of legalizing and regulating sports betting, so there's a lot fewer states left on the board. Some of them have pretty significant political challenges in terms of getting sports betting itself enacted. When we look at the map, there could be potentially two or three states that have some activity and get it across the finish line this year. There could be zero, which would be disappointing, but that's where we are right now with the progress that we've made over the past almost six years." (link)
