💨 Abstract

A federal judge has denied Tennessee point guard Zakai Zeigler's request for a preliminary injunction to play a fifth season of Division I basketball. Judge Katherine A. Crytzer ruled that Zeigler failed to show he would likely succeed in arguing that the NCAA's rules violate the Sherman Act. The NCAA had argued against the injunction, citing historical precedent. Zeigler's lawsuit seeks to play an additional season, claiming potential earnings of $2-4 million.
