This was always going to be a heavy lift for the plaintiffs. The antitrust argument, while it may be a winner at trial, is a tough one on injunction. To be clear, this has nothing to do with the 5-in-5 litigation across the country at the state court level.

NEWS: The Tenth Circuit has REVERSED and VACATED the nationwide preliminary injunction in Wisne v. NCAA, issuing a published opinion in the 5-for-5 eligibility litigation.

The injunction had already been stayed since August 21, and following oral arguments that appeared to go poorly for the plaintiffs, this outcome was largely expected.

The three-judge panel concluded that the plaintiffs failed to establish a legally supportable antitrust labor market encompassing all Division I sports.

Importantly, the court did NOT decide whether the NCAA's exclusion of the Class of 2022 is ultimately lawful, nor did it address whether NCAA eligibility rules are exempt from antitrust scrutiny.

No member of the House of Representatives has voted on the Protect College Sports Act, and they probably never will. It's the latest in a long line of "NIL" bills introduced since 2020 that have been put on life support. linkedin.com/pulse/newslett…
