Eastern Tennessee District Judge Clifton Corker has issued a preliminary injunction for the attorneys general in Tennessee and Virginia, 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.’” More from the injunction: “If 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.” (link, link)
