The National Collegiate Athletic Association, Petitioner v. Joel Casey Jones, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the appeal of the temporary injunction was not moot and reversed the Court of Appeals' dismissal, remanding for a merits determination. The Court reasoned that both the NCAA and Jones retained live, substantial interests, particularly regarding potential restitution sanctions, preventing the case from being advisory. Justice Abbott dissented, arguing the issue was moot and the appeal should not proceed.
