CHICAGO - Attorney General Kwame Raoul today announced a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order in his federal antitrust lawsuit challenging the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) transfer eligibility rule, allowing college athletes who have been prevented from competing to immediately be eligible. The decision – issued by a federal judge in the Northern District of West Virginia – prevents the NCAA from enforcing the transfer rule for the next 14 days. “Today’s ruling is a step in the right direction toward permanently ending the flawed transfer rule that restricts college athletes in their ability to compete,” Raoul said. “I filed this lawsuit to bring fairness to collegiate sports and ensure the needs of athletes and their families are prioritized and respected.” The next court date in the case is scheduled for Dec. 27 when a federal judge will consider the states’ motion for a preliminary injunction
