NCAA, states reach agreement in lawsuit to permanently allow multiple-transfer athletes to compete

Associated Press  

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The NCAA and a coalition of states suing the organization announced a proposed settlement of a lawsuit Thursday that would allow athletes to be immediately eligible to play no matter how many times they transfer and offer some who were sidelined an extra year of eligibility. Under the agreement, a preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge in West Virginia allowing multiple-transfer athletes to compete would be made permanent. Under the agreement, the NCAA would be required to grant an additional year of eligibility to Division I athletes previously deemed ineligible under the transfer eligibility rule since the 2019-20 academic year. In a statement, Assistant U.S. Attorney General Jonathan Kanter said the resolution “is a testament to the benefits of federal and state enforcers working together to ensure free markets and fair competition for all Americans.” The federal court in West Virginia’s northern district would maintain jurisdiction to enforce terms and resolve any disputes that may come up, according to the agreement. “The NCAA needs to recognize underlying issues that affect student-athletes in every decision,” West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said in a statement.
