NCAA Monopsony Power at Center of Latest Eligibility Rule Antitrust Case
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is urging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to reverse a federal district court’s ruling that found one aspect of the NCAA’s five-year eligibility rule likely violates federal antitrust law. A ruling in the case, Wisne v. NCAA, Case No. 26-1309, could have significant implications for any employer or trade association that collectively imposes eligibility restrictions on its labor force.
