A federal judge has denied a requested temporary restraining order, creating a delay for Tennessee and Virginia in their quest to pause NCAA rules regarding name, image and likeness (NIL) benefits for college athletes, reports the Tennessean. The ruling leaves the current NIL rules in place for Wednesday, the start of the Division I football regular signing period, when recruits can sign a letter of intent with a university. The same judge will hear arguments for a lengthier preliminary injunction in a Greeneville courtroom Feb. 13.
