Judge provides injunction, rules in favor of all four football players

U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey has ruled in favor of four football players at West Virginia University, granting a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the NCAA that permits all four eligibility for the upcoming 2025 football season.

Plaintiffs Jimmori Robinson, Tye Edwards, Justin Harrington and Jeffrey Weimer filed suit against the NCAA on August 1 claiming antitrust violations under both national and West Virginia law and a breach of contract that argued the players are third-party beneficiaries of NCAA membership agreements.

Edwards, Harrington, Robinson and Weimer previously played multiple seasons at the junior college level beginning in 2018 or 2019. All four had previously been denied a waiver in an effort to gain eligibility in 2025.
