CHARLESTON, West Virginia -- College athletes who were denied the chance to play immediately after transferring a second time can return to competition, for now, after a federal judge issued a 14-day temporary restraining order Wednesday against the NCAA. U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey in northern West Virginia issued the order against the NCAA from enforcing the transfer rule. A lawsuit filed by West Virginia and six other states alleged the rule's waiver process violated federal antitrust law. A hearing on the restraining order is scheduled for Dec. 27, Bailey said. The NCAA didn't immediately indicate whether it would appeal the ruling. I'm glad if this means that Alex will play, but good Lord the NCAA has made a mess of this. Once the "one time exception" rule took effect, they should have just done away with waivers completely. Now the courts are involved and who knows how much messier it will get. Also, I would not think that it is worth the time and resources of the state to sue over such an issue. It's sports. I'm sure there are more pressing matters that I'd rather have my state government dealing with.

In the event Alex Tchikou becomes eligible and Emmanuel Kuac is available; we'll certainly be a lot more competitive in the front court.π

We live in Tennessee now, which is one of the states that brought this lawsuit. The stupid stuff that the TN Attorney General gets involved with is ridiculous. The ultra-conservatives here preach "leave us alone" and then get into every little piece of personal life. It's a complete contradiction between what they preach and what they do/don't do.

I will defer to your experience and greater knowledge of the situation.

So, if this court action does allow Alex to play, do you think the program will make an official announcement about it (thereby potentially drumming up some interest and giving the fans something positive to talk about) or will we just find out when he eventually takes the floor?

And what would be nice about having Tchikou & Kuac available, I believe that both players have been practicing with the team over the past several months.

Is this a trick question?

One reason our school does not rush and issue press releases in a legal case like this one is that now the NCAA is implying that it could deem that any player who plays during the next 13 days could use up a full year of eligibility if the NCAA wins after the hearing and enforcement of the waiver is permitted. The judge prevented the NCAA from enforcing the waiver rules, but did not prevent the NCAA from enforcing the rules on determining whether a player used a year of eligibility. The team and Tchikou could decide not to risk that downside by playing in the next 3 games.

The NCAA should be protecting the players and at all times have their interests at heart! Kinda shows what happens when you give authority to people who should never be in a position of power!!

How so? If Tchikou had been granted a waiver from the outset and he played, he would use a year of eligibility. Also, by pointing out this fact, the NCAA is protecting its other rules of player eligibility that go beyond getting a waiver of the year in residency rule for 2nd time undergrad transfers who had already used their one-time exemption. The NCAA is saying that a player who was denied a waiver but plays due to the court order is still subject to other rules of eligibility like grades and progress to a degree.
