1. Judge Says Issues Still Remain With $2.8B House Settlement

by Amanda Christovich, Front Office Sports

“After an hourslong hearing in Oakland, Northern District of California judge Claudia Wilken declined to approve the House v. NCAA settlement - a combination of three cases which would, among other things, allow players to get paid by schools for the first time in history - as it is currently written.

She ordered lawyers to amend language in the settlement that binds future athletes not currently represented or in college to its terms, without a chance to challenge them (as the system the settlement sets up continues for at least 10 years). She also indicated she wants changes to parts of the settlement related to roster limits, suggesting a “grandfathering” clause to help athletes who received roster spots before the settlement’s approval that would be rescinded under the settlement.”
