NCAA can no longer enforce NIL rules after federal judge grants injunction

The NCAA has lost the authority to enforce any rules on name, image and likeness compensation for student-athletes, for now and potentially for good.

Federal judge Clifton Corker granted a preliminary injunction suspending the NCAA’s NIL rules as part of the lawsuit brought by the attorneys general of Tennessee and Virginia against the organization, according to Adam Sparks of the Knoxville News Sentinel. The decision will apply nationwide.
