  • Rutgers transfer Jett Elad is challenging the NCAA's eligibility rules and hoping to cash in on a lucrative NIL deal.

The article from MSN discusses a lawsuit filed by a former Rutgers University football player, who transferred to another school, against the NCAA. The player, identified as a defensive back, is challenging the NCAA's rules on Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. He claims that the NCAA's restrictions on when and how student-athletes can profit from their NIL are unconstitutional and unfairly limit their earning potential during their college careers. The lawsuit argues that these rules violate antitrust laws by restraining trade in the market for student-athletes' NIL rights. This legal action comes at a time when the NCAA is already facing scrutiny and changes regarding how student-athletes can monetize their personal brand.
