US District Court of Northern West Virginia involving immediate eligibility for college athletes Wednesday afternoon, allowing two time transfer portal players immediate eligibility. Another hearing was scheduled for December 27, and the NCAA stated that if players did return to play that should the TRO be reversed on the 27th, players could be forced to sit out one year as a punishment. On Friday, Ohio AG, Dave Yost asked in federal court the TRO be extended through the end of spring sports, or the end of the academic year. The NCAA agreed to this and there will be no reatliation if any atheletes that were previously dened eligibility based on the 2X transfer rule do in fact return to competition this year.

Not probably so interesting to Ohio State football fans here, but extremely relevant to Ohio State bball fans as the Buckeyes face West Virginia on December 31, West Virginia University men's basketball fifth-year guard RaeQuan Battle and senior guard Noah Farrakhan will dress and be available to participate.

In the bigger picture, this is huge.
