From Justin Williams of The Athletic over the last hour:
BREAKING: In Ohio vs NCAA, Judge John Preston Bailey issues a temporary restraining order (for the next 14 days) that grants immediate eligibility to any college athletes currently seeking it via a multi-transfer waiver. This essentially means for the next 14 days, NCAA can't require any multi-time transfers to sit out while seeking a waiver for immediate eligibility. Judge will likely decide whether to grant a preliminary injunction—which would likely extend thru length of a trial—on Dec 27.
Also important to note that in addition to enjoining the NCAA from enforcing its year of residence rule for multi-time transfers, the judge also did the same for the NCAA rule of restitution, meaning schools can't be punished for playing impacted athletes over the next 14 days.
