Overview

• U.S. District Judge James V. Selna denied preliminary injunctions for Wingfield, Robinson and San Diego’s Jagger Giles after a brief hearing in Santa Ana.
• Court minutes state that only compensation rules regulate commercial activity subject to antitrust laws, while eligibility limits do not.
• Selna cited Wingfield’s five-month delay in seeking emergency relief as undercutting claims of irreparable harm.
• Wingfield forfeits a reported $210,000 NIL deal, and USC will evaluate alternative left-guard options as Lincoln Riley reshuffles the line.
• The outcome contrasts with Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia’s earlier injunction, underscoring uneven results in similar eligibility challenges.
