context: While the parties have not cited any opinion addressing the particular bylaw at issue here, and we have found none, other courts have held that the NCAA's "no-draft" and "no-agent" rules, which disqualify a-student-athlete from further intercollegiate competition if the student-athlete enters a professional draft or contacts an agent, are reasonable because they are procompetitive.

National Collegiate Athletic Ass’n, 977 F.2d 1081, 1087-94 (7th Cir.1992) (holding that NCAA’s “no-draft” and “no-agent” rules do not have an anticompetitive impact on a discernable market); Gaines, 746 F.Supp. at 746; Jones, 392 F.Supp. at 304 (noting in dicta that “any limitation on access to intercollegiate sports is merely the incidental result of the organization’s pursuit of its legitimate goals”); see also Justice v. National Collegiate Athletic Ass’n, 577 F.Supp. 356, 379 (D.Ariz.1983) (holding that NCAA sanctions such as rendering a college team ineligible for post-season play and for television appearances imposed for violations of rule against providing compensation to student-athletes did not violate antitrust law because sanctions were reasonably related to the NCAA’s goals of preserving amateurism and promoting fair competition).
