Court Finds NCAA Recruiting Rules Immune from Antitrust

A federal judge has granted the NCAA's motion for summary judgment in a case, where several "non-institutional basketball" camps alleged that the NCAA violated antitrust laws by restricting the ability of NCAA coaches from scouting the players at the camp.   In ruling for the NCAA, the court pointed to case law that identified NCAA eligibility rules as being immune from antitrust laws, and that the same protection should extend to NCAA recruiting rules as they applied to the instant case. &
