Judge denies Tennessee’s request for temporary restraining order barring NCAA from enforcing NIL rules
New York TimesTennessee’s request for a temporary restraining order barring the NCAA from enforcing its NIL rules was denied by a federal court in east Tennessee on Tuesday. The judge did accept the NCAA’s rules do promote competitive balance, but the states’ attorneys general are still likely to win the case, according to comments from Corker in the order. In a legal filing Saturday, the NCAA responded to the lawsuit by arguing that the states had no case for injunctive relief to temporarily invalidate the NCAA’s rules, in part because Tennessee’s own state law bars NIL inducements in recruiting. Then on Sunday, the attorneys general argued Tennessee’s state law, cited by the NCAA, does bar pay-for-play but allows recruits to have conversations with collectives about NIL opportunities, which is banned by the NCAA.
