Whatever happened to the NASL lawsuit? When I search online I find a bunch of things about their injunctions being denied, but nothing actually on a final decision regarding whether or not USSF is a monopoly (which seems pretty clear to me that it is).

To casual sports fans and people outside northern Utah, it may look like an NHL team fell into Salt Lake City's lap in the span of two weeks.
