NCAA Agrees to Allow Multi-Transfer Athletes Immediate Competition

A preliminary injunction will replace the temporary restraining order, allowing athletes to compete through the end of the spring sports period.

NCAA agrees to allow multi-transfer winter and spring athletes to compete immediately, pending court approval.
A temporary restraining order against the NCAA regarding rules for transfer athletes is being converted to a preliminary injunction and will last until the end of the spring sports period.
The NCAA and a coalition of states have asked a federal court to extend the temporary restraining order allowing multiple-transfer athletes to compete through at least the winter and spring semesters.
The NCAA has agreed to terms with the states that issued the original complaint, removing eligibility concerns for those athletes through the academic year.
The NCAA and the states involved in the lawsuit are seeking to cancel a hearing on the restraining order set for Dec. 27 and set the case for trial no sooner than the last day of competition in the winter and spring sports seasons.
