NCAA v. House settlement approved, allowing colleges to directly pay athletes
Almost five years after House v. NCAA was filed in Oakland, California, Judge Claudia Wilken granted final approval to a settlement Friday night, a decision that will drastically change college sports again, allowing schools to pay athletes directly for the first time. The settlement resolves three antitrust suits against the NCAA — House, Carter and Hubbard — all of which challenged past restrictions on athlete compensation. The agreement was hashed out by attorneys for the plaintiffs and six defendants: The NCAA, SEC, Big Ten, ACC, Big 12 and Pac 12. It includes almost $2.8 billion in back damages for former and current athletes (and their lawyers).
