West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, along with the multistate Ohio-led bipartisan coalition, on Friday filed a joint motion with the NCAA asking a federal court to extend the 14-day temporary restraining order against the NCAA (barring the association from enforcing its transfer rule) through at least the winter and spring seasons.
“This is a big win in the fight for student-athletes like RaeQuan Battle of West Virginia University to play in the sport they love,” Attorney General Morrisey said. “This is all about the student-athletes who were sidelined with the NCAA’s onerous transfer rule, freeing them to pursue their passion and excel in their collegiate experience.”
“Let the kids play.”
If the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia grants the motion, then an injunction against the transfer rule will remain in place until the court decides on the merits of the case.
