⚖️ On Monday, the final approval hearing for the House vs NCAA settlement took place under Judge Claudia Wilken. Wilken heard from an NCAA Lawyer and 14 objectors, including athletes Olivia Dunne and Gannon Flynn.
⚖️ A LOT of factors are at play in this hearing. The main argument is whether the settlement is antitrust or not. As the NCAA looks to allow schools to pay athletes, the question of back-pay for athletes from 2016-2024 for lost NIL opportunities. Another concern? Roster limits and cutting varsity sports.
Judge Wilkens did not issue a final approval, and further hearings are to be scheduled. This landmark case will change the shape of college athletics forever.
