Feb 23 (Reuters) - A Tennessee federal judge on Friday agreed to suspend a National Collegiate Athletic Association rule barring third-party marketing deals to recruit student athletes, finding that an antitrust lawsuit challenging the rule is likely to succeed.
U.S. District Judge Clifton Corker in Greeneville preliminarily barred the NCAA from enforcing the rule, which limits prospective student athletes' ability to negotiate deals with third parties such as alumni and business collectives for the commercial use of their name, image and likeness (NIL).
Tennessee and Virginia sued over the so-called NIL “recruitment ban” in January, arguing that the provision unlawfully restrained competition within the labor market of the NCAA’s Division I, the highest level for college athletics.
Corker in his ruling said, “encouraging free and fair price competition in the NIL market by enjoining the NCAA's NIL-recruiting ban will serve the public interest.”
“Without the give and take of a free market, student-athletes simply have no knowledge of their true NIL value,” the judge said.

If a player signs a contract can he or she be cut from the team? Since education is no longer the priority will academic standards even matter? Once the government gets involved corruption goes to a new level and small schools will be left behind.
