Why thousands of NCAA athletes might wait over a year for share of $2.8 billion settlement
The attorney who negotiated the $2.8 billion legal settlement for the NCAA said Friday that thousands of former athletes due to receive damages could have to wait months or maybe more than a year to get paid while appeals play out. Rakesh Kilaru, who served as the NCAA's lead counsel for the House settlement that was approved last week, told The Associated Press an appeal on Title IX grounds filed this week will hold up payments due to around 390,000 athletes who signed on to the class-action settlement. He said he has seen appeals take up to 18 months in the California-based federal court where this case is playing out, though that isn't necessarily what he expects. 'I will say that we, and I'm sure the plaintiffs, are going to push,' Kilaru said. A schedule filed this week calls for briefs related to the appeal to be filed by Oct. 3. Kilaru doesn't expect anyone on the defendant or plaintiff side to file for extensions in the case 'because every day the appeal goes on is a day damages don't go to the student-athletes.' He said while the appeal is ongoing, the NCAA will pay the money into a fund that will be ready to go when needed. The other critical parts of the settlement -- the part that allows each school to share up to $20.5 million in revenue with current players and set up an enforcement arm to regulate it -- are in effect regardless of appeals. 'I think everyone thought it was important and good for this new structure to start working because it does have a lot of benefits for students,' Kilaru said. 'But it's very common for damages to be delayed in this way for the simple reason that you don't want to make payments to people that you can't recover' if the appeal is successful. A group of eight female athletes filed the appeal. Their attorney, Ashlyn Hare, said they supported settlement of the case 'but not an inaccurate one that violates federal law.' "The calculation of past damages is based on an error that ignores Title IX and deprives female athletes of $1.1 billion,' Hare said. Kilaru agreed with plaintiff attorneys who have argued that Title IX violations are outside the scope of the lawsuit. Other objections to the settlement came from athletes who said they were damaged by roster limits set by the terms. One attorney representing a group of those objectors, Steven Molo, said they were reviewing Wilken's decision and exploring options.

Rocket Classic field: Patrick Cantlay, Keegan Bradley, Min Woo Lee join PGA Tour in Detroit
The 2025 Rocket Classic just got a jolt of star power. The PGA Tour's annual stop in Detroit announced more player commitments Monday, June 2, for the tournament June 26-29 at Detroit Golf Club, with the headliners including U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa, Min Woo Lee, a fan favorite last year, Tom Kim and Aaron Rai. Advertisement Cantlay, No. 16 in the Official World Golf Ranking, and Bradley, No. 17, join Collin Morikawa, No. 4 in the world and a two-time major winner, to form a more robust 2025 field. Last year's tournament field did not have a player ranked among the world's top 20 for the first time in its six-year history, with Cameron Young the top player at No. 23. (Dustin Johnson at the 2019 Rocket was ranked No. 2 in the world, the highest-ranked golfer to ever play the tournament. He missed the cut.) Morikawa, the top-ranked player in this year's field, lost in heartbreaking fashion in his only appearance in Detroit in 2023 to Rickie Fowler in a three-man playoff. Patrick Cantlay putts on the 5th green during Round 1 of the Rocket Mortgage Classic at the Detroit Golf Club in Detroit on Thurs., July 28, 2022. Cantlay finished tied for second in 2022, his lone appearance in Detroit, five strokes behind winner Tony Finau. Bradley tied for 21st in 2023 and tied for 14th in 2021. Lee and Rai finished tied for second last year. Advertisement Australia's Cam Davis is the defending champion, rallying to win last year on Akshay Bhatia's shocking three-putt. Davis is the only two-time Rocket winner in Detroit. Cam Davis lifts up the trophy to celebrate winning Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club in Detroit on Sunday, June 30, 2024. Others in the field include past Rocket champions Davis (2024, 2021), Fowler (2023), Finau (2022) and Nate Lashley (2019), along with veterans Zach Johnson and Brandt Snedeker. Bryson DeChambeau, the tournament's 2020 winner, remains barred from playing on the PGA Tour after defecting to rival LIV Golf in 2022. Also in this year's field is NCAA Division 1 individual champion Michael La Sasso, an Ole Miss junior. More commitments will take place up until a week before the tournament, when the 150-plus-man field begins to finalize, including the winner of The John Shippen on June 21-22 at Detroit Golf Club. Sixteen Black golfers will compete over 36 holes for one spot into the Rocket Classic. Advertisement The Tour's seventh playing of the tournament at the Donald Ross-designed Detroit Golf Club has a $9.6 million purse. Right after this year's tournament, Detroit Golf Club will undergo a $16 million renovation under the direction of architect Tyler Rae. More than 100 trees will be removed, native grasses and ditches will be added, greens will be moved and enlarged and bunkers will be added. The changes, the first major transformation of the club's North Course since it opened more than a century ago, will be revealed at the 2026 Rocket Classic.
