Judge Sweeney’s nationwide injunction is now stayed pending appeal, meaning qualifying Class of 2022 athletes lose its federal fifth-season protection for now. pic.twitter.com/i3ASE2TmHi
Important clarification: Today’s Tenth Circuit order only stays Judge Sweeney’s federal injunction in Wisne. It does not affect separate state-court injunctions, which remain in force unless they are stayed or overturned by the relevant court.

College sports had a first on Thursday. An NFL player entered the NCAA transfer portal. How? Why? What? | Ross Dellenger
I read the Louisiana TRO, but that doesn’t answer the two questions I have: (1) how did Wright enter the transfer portal without being enrolled as a student; and (2) he couldn’t access the portal without a school entering his name in the system, so who did that? https://t.co/x1pkoFoekR

We’re in this weird world now in college sports where people finish college—and in some cases graduate—then get a job, and are now “transferring” by joining another college.
Good luck to all the registrars’ offices out there dealing with this. https://t.co/f97u4X3bYK
Wright is one of the 16 players granted a temporary restraining order against the NCAA from a Louisiana court, paving their way for a fifth year of eligibility.
