Texas Judge Blocks NCAA Five-Year Rule for Indiana's Louis Moore Through Season

The order deems the policy unlawful under Texas antitrust law as applied to him, granting only temporary relief.

Overview

  • Judge Dale Tillery issued a Dallas County injunction that bars the NCAA from enforcing the Five-Year Rule against Moore.
  • The ruling keeps the safety eligible for all of 2025 and remains in effect until a Jan. 29, 2026 trial.
  • The court cited an immediate risk of irreparable harm, including lost development time with Indiana and disruption to NIL opportunities.
  • Moore testified he has received about $330,000 in NIL payments this season and said he was warned his scholarship and some NIL money could be at risk if ruled ineligible.
  • The NCAA contested Texas jurisdiction during the hearing, as the case intersects with recent JUCO-transfer actions and the Diego Pavia-related waiver.
