1. California Judge Approves NCAA-House Case Settlement

by Ross Dellenger, Yahoo! Sports

“A California district judge granted preliminary approval to the NCAA and power conferences’ settlement of the House antitrust case, another step in a long process toward the era of athlete revenue sharing.

Judge Claudia Wilken, of the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, issued her ruling Monday without a follow-up hearing and after plaintiffs and defendants in the case clarified language in the agreement 10 days ago.

The two-part settlement requires schools to pay roughly $2.8 billion to former athletes for damages of lost name, image and likeness payments, but, perhaps more importantly, it permits schools — not requires them — to share millions with their athletes. The settlement’s new revenue-sharing model is expected to start July 1.”
