ESPN report on "deep discussions" to settle NIL antitrust case v. NCAA

An ESPN report says there isn't an imminent settlement at hand, but there have been "deep discussions" regarding an antitrust case vs. the NCAA:

The leaders of college sports are involved in "deep discussions" to reach a legal settlement that would likely lay out the framework for sharing revenue with athletes in a future NCAA business model, sources told ESPN.

The NCAA and its power conferences are defendants in an antitrust class action lawsuit, House v. NCAA, which argues that the association is breaking federal law by placing any restrictions on how athletes make money from selling the rights to their name, image or likeness. The case is scheduled to go to court in January 2025. If the plaintiffs win at trial, the NCAA and its schools could be liable to pay more than $4 billion in damages, which has motivated many leaders across the industry to seek a settlement...

While sources stressed that no deal is imminent, details about what a multi-billion-dollar settlement could look like are expected to be shared with campuses in the near future. There are myriad variables to get to the finish line and still some obstacles and objections at the campus level, but sources indicate that progress has ramped up in recent weeks.

There are currently four active antitrust lawsuits in play, says the ESPN report.

Think I could get some scratch for being a mediocre D3 lineman in the early 90s?

What would 2 years and damaged C6 and C7 vertebrae get you from D1 level? About $10 and a signed waiver?

Asking for a friend.

“In antitrust cases, the court makes the defendant pay triple the amount of actual damages as punishment.” Ask Rudy.
