Ohio Attorney General David Yost announced Thursday that a settlement was made with NCAA involving the double transfer that restricts an athlete’s ability to compete with other schools. The announcement comes after U.S. District Judge Preston Bailey approved schools to forbid the NCAA from enforcing transfer rules through at least spring. 

The lawsuit began in December when Yost and a group of attorney generals sued the NCAA on accusations of violating antitrust laws. Yost believed what the NCAA was doing restricted a college athlete’s ability to maximize their economic opportunities.

In 2021, the NCAA automatically exempted first-time transfers athletes from competing in their first year after transferring while doing the same with double transfers even if they had a granted waiver, which was allowed in the rules.
