The US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in a 2-1 decision reversed a district court’s issuance of a preliminary injunction preventing the NCAA from enforcing its Five-Year Rule against a college athlete seeking to play a fifth season of college football in Fourqurean v. Nat’l Coll. Athletic Ass’n, 2025 WL 1944005 (7th Cir. July 16, 2025). The Seventh Circuit concluded that a preliminary injunction was not warranted because the athlete failed to establish that he was likely to succeed on his claim that the Five-Year Rule constituted an unreasonable restraint of trade in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act.
