Kyla Deck sues NCAA over transfer portal restrictions

Former SMU women’s basketball player Kyla Deck filed a lawsuit against the NCAA and SMU, challenging the NCAA's transfer portal restrictions as violating federal antitrust laws. Deck's complaint seeks an injunction against these restrictions, citing potential eligibility loss and limited opportunities to continue her collegiate career. Her case follows a ruling that allows Division I athletes a fifth year of competition. However, Deck's situation is complicated by her choice not to enter the transfer portal, as SMU does not have a roster spot for her. The suit names SMU due to its role in implementing NCAA policies against her.
