Judge William Campbell of M.D. Tenn. -- the judge who in December granted Diego Pavia a preliminary injunction to allow him to play this season -- has denied a motion for similar relief by four other players: Christopher Bellamy, Demarcus Griffin, TJ Smith, and Targhee Lambson. Image
Image Judge Campbell noted while the plaintiffs relied heavily on Pavia, there are differences between the two cases -- namely that Pavia still had a year in his five-year clock and these players do not.

However, he punted on whether the five-year rule is legal. Image

BREAKING: Last month, a federal district court in PA denied a group of schools' motion to dismiss a claim by college athletes that they are employees of their attended schools under federal wage and hour law.

Today, the court denied a motion to dismiss by the *NCAA* as well. 🧵 The plaintiffs in this case had argued that the NCAA -- as well as a group of non-attended schools in the jurisdiction -- function as joint employers with the attended school.

The court largely granted the motion to dismiss by the schools but denied the NCAA's motion to dismiss.
