The NCAA lawyered up, but their emergency motion for an administrative stay was denied by Judge Sweeney on Monday. Jon Rothstein obtained the message he sent to league members on Tuesday:Court filings and rulings related to the current NCAA eligibility landscape remain highly dynamic. As these various court proceedings continue, institutions should operate under existing NCAA rules, interpretations, and applicable Conference rules unless and until otherwise advised by the NCAA, the Conference, or a court order. In addition, SEC eligibility rules, including those relating to intraconference transfers, remain in effect until fully or individually waived, or the rule is changed. It sounds like the SEC commissioner is throwing cold water on these 5th-year transfers, which gives football programs very little time to act.
