Consider potential impact of <i>Pavia</i> case on eligibility

In a not‐so‐surprising turn of events due to recent federal court decisions, Chief U.S. District Judge William L. Campbell, Jr., granted Vanderbilt University quarterback Diego Pavia's preliminary injunction that he filed against the NCAA in November. Pavia's request to the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Tennessee at Nashville challenged the legality of NCAA Bylaws 12.8, 12.02.6, and 14.3.3 (JUCO Eligibility Limitation Bylaws). He claimed these rules violate Section 1 of the Sherman Act by reducing the number of years that former junior college players can participate in Division I football, while at the same time shortening the period of time in which they can monetize their name, image, and likeness ( see Pl. Complaint, Pavia v. Nat’l Collegiate Athletic Ass’n , No. 3:24‐cv‐01336 (M.D. TN Nov. 8, 2024)).
