federal judge grants an injunction barring NCAA from enforcing rules on NIL whatsoever. major blow to those dickless twats at the NCAA. just one final step closer to the end of a bloated carcass, antiquated, useless relic of the ancient past known as the NCAA.

excerpts:

The attorneys general of Tennessee and Virginia argued that the NCAA is illegally restricting opportunities for student-athletes by preventing them from negotiating the terms of NIL deals prior to deciding where they want to go school. The lawsuit was filed Jan. 31, one day after University of Tennessee chancellor Donde Plowman revealed in a letter to the NCAA that the school's athletic department was being investigated for potential recruiting rules violations.

In Friday's ruling, Corker determined that the attorneys general have a reasonable chance of winning their case and that student-athletes could suffer irreparable harm if the restrictions remain in place while the case is being decided.

Anthony Skrmetti, Tennessee's attorney general, said in a statement Friday that his office plans to litigate the case "to the fullest extent necessary to ensure the NCAA's monopoly cannot continue."

"The NCAA is not above the law, and the law is on our side," Skrmetti said.

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares called the win in court "rewarding" and saw it as an extension of the Supreme Court ruling in the NCAA vs. Alston case in 2021, which he said should have put the NCAA "on notice" for its legal vulnerabilities.

"We're finally getting to the point where you're seeing real student athlete empowerment at the collegiate level," Miyares told ESPN in a phone interview late Friday. "The NCAA in an arbitrary and capricious manner was trying to restrict that."

Miyares said the NCAA model has gotten to the point where it's unsustainable, pointing out the billion-dollar NCAA tournament television contract that was signed without the players getting any cut of it. The potential of change to NIL rules that would come with this ruling could just be the start.

"I think could be the first steps of significant change," he said. "And I think it's been coming for a long time."

College athletics attorney Tom Mars, who worked with a Tennessee collective, Spyre Sports Group, on this case, said the ruling could mark the beginning of the end for the NCAA.

"I think this will be one more brick in the wall that is the end of the NCAA," Mars said. "Short of intervention by Congress, the demise of the NCAA now seems inevitable based on nothing but a financial analysis, as it appears the NCAA is poised to lose all of its upcoming antitrust cases. The cumulative effect of which, could make the NCAA financially insolvent."

"A bad case is a bad case, and they've put all their defenses forward," Mars added. "And there's no precedent anywhere in the United States that supports their defenses."

when the attorney general of a US state is going after you, well, you're in trouble.

When folks talk about creating rules to level the playing field for programs with less money......

Tell it to the judge

So, the NCAA goes away, and is replaced by ... the "NCAA" Ver. 2.0.

I can see it now.

1. B1G and SEC withdraw from the NCAA.

2. M1G and SEC form a non-profit LLC, which will be available to

3. Collectively bargain with their new union employees (players).

4. FSU wins lawsuit against the ACC, due to its being in the ACC limits $ opportunities for FSU athletes.

5. Two 24 school Super-conferences are born.

6. CFB is now dead.

Exactly. I find it amazing that people are celebrating the fact the sport we all ( used to) love has no governance. It may as well be WWE.

I've been saying this for years: the NCAA better fix it's model, or someone else is going to fix it for them. Hizzonor just fixed it.

Good analogy.

I don't watch WWE.

This is gonna become a cooking board or something.

What got fixed? Something that was limping along just got killed.
There are now basically no rules. Complete free agency without a salary cap.

We all used to say we feared CFB was becoming like the NFL. Hell, the NFL model would now be a substantial upgrade.

If Wild West is "fixed", I've been wrong about the meaning of "fixed" for 57+ years.

Damn.

No, no, no.

The NCAA goes away, you put up a big "Mission Accomplished" sign, and then don't replace it with anything and duck out 18 years later.

Duh.

as long as you don't limit an 18 year old's ability to take money from boosters it's legal

regardless of governing body

The NCAA can't go away at least not until they justifiably hang the cheating weasels and implicate the thicko who beat it out of Dodge
