Wrong. That case never got a ruling.

The federal judge did not issue a formal final ruling or judgment on the merits of the case.

Because the litigation is still in its early procedural stages, the current status of the federal case breaks down as follows:

* No Injunction or Summary Judgment: The federal court never reached the point of granting or denying a preliminary injunction, nor did it rule on the overarching constitutional and antitrust questions.

* The Crisis Dissolved First: Brendan Sorsby surrendered his state-court injunction and withdrew his lawsuit against the NCAA just days after the Big 12 filed its federal complaint. Because Sorsby voluntarily removed himself from college football, the immediate emergency that required an urgent federal court order disappeared.

* Procedural Postponements: While the Big 12 chose to keep the case active to establish a broader legal precedent, the court has not fast-tracked the litigation. It remains on the court's active docket, meaning any potential hearings, structural rulings, or trials are months away.
