Gophers wing Cade Tyson’s eligibility case has rough day in court, legal experts say
Legal experts said the NCAA had a strong day in court as judges questioned the players’ antitrust claim for a fifth season.
- On Tuesday, a three-judge panel in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals appeared receptive to the NCAA during oral arguments in the antitrust case, Wisne v. NCAA.
- Plaintiffs are using antitrust laws to argue the NCAA cannot exclude student-athletes from the five-for-five rule simply because they started school before the rule took effect.
- Panel judge Nancy Moritz called the plaintiffs' market definition "over-broad," a key threshold issue in antitrust cases. Attorney Rakesh Kilaru argued for the NCAA, prompting legal expert Michael McCann of Sportico to write, "I think the NCAA will win 3-0 and it wont be close."
- Gophers wing Cade Tyson remains ineligible after the NCAA secured a stay on the preliminary injunction Judge Charlotte Sweeney granted in early August, despite his nearly 20 points per game last season.
- The Gophers open their schedule with an exhibition game against Omaha this Thursday at The Barn, followed by the regular season opener against North Dakota on Nov. 2.
