United States Third Circuit
NCAA v. Governor of New Jersey, 13-1713
Summary judgment to plaintiffs, a conglomerate of sports leagues, in their action challenging New Jersey's proposed law that would license gambling on certain professional and amateur sporting events, is affirmed, where: 1) the plaintiff leagues have Article III standing to enforce the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA), a federal law that prohibits most states from licensing sports gambling; 2) PASPA is constitutional; and 3) because New Jersey's sports wagering law conflicts with PASPA, under the Constitution, it must yield.
