1. NCAA Settlement on Hold as Judge Requests Changes on Roster Limits

by Ross Dellenger, Yahoo Sports

“The NCAA and power conferences’ settlement of three antitrust cases hangs in the balance.

In an order issued on Wednesday, a California judge announced that she will not approve the landmark House settlement unless changes are made to new roster limits — a concept that the settlement agreement imposes on schools and one that has led to the elimination of roster spots for hundreds and, perhaps eventually, thousands of athletes.

Claudia Wilken, the presiding judge in the case in the Northern District of California, is giving attorneys 14 days to implement a grandfather-in concept to roster limits, assuring those athletes who are on a roster do not lose their spot — something that’s happening across the country as schools reduce their rosters to adhere to the new limits.”
