With the ruling in the lawsuit that includes former UCLA basketball player Ed O’Bannon making it possible for former and current athletes alike to be compensated for the uses of their names, images and likenesses, there are major changes on the horizon for collegiate athletics. That ruling was scheduled to go into effect August 1, with the NCAA filing a stay of the injunction to prevent this from occurring.
Friday morning the governing body received good news as the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals has granted the NCAA’s stay of the injunction according to the New York Times.
