Wednesday afternoon embattled West Virginia Mountaineers basketball player RaeQuan Battle received his first bit of good news when a restraining order, filed by multiple state attorneys including West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey was approved. As first reported by Chris Anderson at EerSports.com, players who are transferring but ruled ineligible by the NCAA cannot be kept from playing for their teams in their respective sports, including Battle and Noah Farrakhan.
Division I college athletes who had been sidelined by the NCAA’s Transfer Eligibility Rule are free to compete immediately after a federal judge today granted a 14-day restraining order to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and his counterparts in six other states as part of their antitrust lawsuit challenging the rule.
