Forget President Trump’s travel ban: Another heavyweight fight is heading to the Supreme Court in the fall that will pit New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie against America’s top sports leagues. The outcome could change sports gambling rules throughout the country.

Christie v. NCAA has the all the “markings of a sleeper blockbuster,” West Virginia Solicitor General Elbert Lin, who is expected to leave public office for the private sector soon, wrote with his deputy solicitor general Thomas M. Johnson Jr. this week.

“The parties and their counsel give the case an Ali-Frazier feel,” Lin and Johnson wrote at SCOTUSblog. “New Jersey Governor Chris Christie versus the National Collegiate Athletic Association and all four major professional sports leagues (the National Basketball Association, the National Football League, the National Hockey League and Major League Baseball).
