"DOJ Joins Lawsuit Against NCAA Transfer Rules"

The Justice Department has joined a civil antitrust lawsuit challenging the NCAA's Transfer Eligibility Rule, which restricts college athletes' freedom to transfer between academic institutions by limiting their eligibility to participate in intercollegiate contests if they transfer more than once during their college careers. The lawsuit, filed by 10 states and the District of Columbia, alleges that the rule unreasonably restrains competition and denies athletes educational opportunities, with the court already granting a temporary restraining order against the NCAA.

Legal Battles Mount as NCAA Faces Multiple Lawsuits Over Transfer Eligibility and Athlete Compensation

Seven states have filed a federal antitrust lawsuit challenging the NCAA's transfer eligibility rule, arguing that it is an illegal restraint on college athletes. The rule requires multi-time transfer athletes to sit out a year and forgo a season of eligibility unless they are granted a waiver. The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction of the rule, which could impact men's and women's basketball transfers and potentially college football transfers for next season. The NCAA is currently facing legal battles on multiple fronts, including cases related to athlete compensation and recognition as employees.
