Hagens Berman: Court Grants Final Approval to Historic Settlement in NCAA College Athlete Name, Image and Likeness Antitrust Litigation
OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 6, 2025-- Attorneys at Hagens Berman representing a class of nearly 400,000 college athletes celebrated the court's granting of final approval to a historic settlement with the NCAA. In addition to $2.78 billion in past damages, the total value of new payments and benefits to college athletes under the new revenue-sharing model is expected to exceed $20 billion over the next 10 years, making it the largest antitrust class-action settlement in history. The firm's managing partner and co-founder Steve Berman served as court-appointed co-lead counsel in the litigation, fighting for the rights of college athletes for two decades and pioneering the firm's sports litigation practice. 'Hagens Berman's sports litigation attorneys have fought the NCAA's limits to scholarships and pay since 2004 and this result — 20 years later — is a fantastic win for hundreds of thousands of college athletes,' Berman said. 'We look forward to overseeing this process and watching the revenue-sharing benefits unfold for college athletes over the next 10 years.' The antitrust class-action lawsuit against the NCAA will bring historic and previously unforeseen changes to college sports and will allow college athletes to be fairly compensated for the use of their name, image and likeness (NIL) in what has become a multibillion-dollar industry. The settlement process was thoroughly reviewed by Judge Claudia A. Wilken of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California who in the April settlement fairness hearing requested further attention to details concerning roster limits and other aspects of the settlement. 'Major changes don't happen overnight, and we thank the court for its careful consideration of what is a monumental shift in college sports that will bring the NCAA into the modern age,' Berman said. 'We hope this settlement inspires all to see the capabilities of class-action law to bring about tangible benefits and change. Not to be forgotten are the brave efforts of Sedona Prince and Grant House who were the original class representatives who stood up to take on this fight.' The settlement resolves three pending antitrust lawsuits, House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA, and Carter v. NCAA. As part of the settlement, the NCAA and its conferences will pay more than $2.78 billion in damages to college athletes over a 10-year period, eliminate rules prohibiting schools from making direct payments to athletes, and dramatically expand the availability of compensation and benefits available to athletes. This includes eliminating restrictions on the number of available athletic scholarships across all Division I sports.

Federal judge approves $2.8B settlement allowing schools to directly pay college athletes
A federal judge granted final approval on Friday to the $2.8 billion settlement that will allow colleges and universities to begin paying athletes directly. Judge Claudia Wilken approved the settlement on Friday that will allow schools to pay their athletes next month. The sweeping terms of the so-called House settlement include approval for each school to share up to $20.5 million with athletes over the next year and $2.7 billion that will be paid over the next decade to thousands of former players who were barred from that revenue for years. Payouts will be determined based on the sport and the length of athletic career, with most football and men's basketball players able to receive nearly $135,000 each. However, the highest estimated payout is expected to be nearly $2 million, thanks to "Lost NIL Opportunities," according to the law firm. Nearly five years after Arizona State swimmer Grant House sued the NCAA and its five biggest conferences to lift restrictions on revenue sharing, Wilken approved the final proposal that had been hung up on roster limits, just one of many changes ahead amid concerns that thousands of walk-on athletes will lose their chance to play college sports. The deal covers three antitrust cases — including the class-action lawsuit known as House vs. the NCAA — that challenged NCAA compensation rules dating back to 2016. The plaintiffs claimed that NCAA rules denied thousands of athletes the opportunity to earn millions of dollars off the use of their names, images and likenesses. The NCAA lifted its ban on athletes earning money through endorsement and sponsorship deals in 2021. At one point, President Donald Trump was considering an executive order to regulate name, image and likeness in college sports after meeting with legendary Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban, the Wall Street Journal reported. On Fox News last year, Saban urged Congress to step in and make NIL "equal across the board." "And I think that should still exist for all players, but not just a pay-for-play system like we have now where whoever raises the most money in their collective can pay the most for the players, which is not a level playing field. I think in any competitive venue, you want to have some guidelines that gives everyone an equal opportunity to have a chance to be successful," he said. The settlement also called for a clearinghouse to make sure any NIL deal worth more than $600 is pegged at fair market value in an attempt to thwart supposed pay-for-play deals.

NCAA Sends Clear Message About Athlete Pay and Roster Limits
NCAA Sends Clear Message About Athlete Pay and Roster Limits originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NCAA is looking to make some changes to its scholarship rules and roster limits in the upcoming 2025-26 season. If approved, the House vs. NCAA settlement will allow schools to start paying athletes directly, along with dictating how many players will be on each roster. Advertisement With the new set of rules, schools will be able to offer scholarships to every player on their roster. Previously, there was a roster cap in place based on the sport. This is huge because it changes how each school builds their roster. Sports like football, basketball, and volleyball only offer full scholarships, but this rule allows for partial scholarships. The amount of space on the roster would not be unlimited but rather increased. Judge Claudia Wilken held a hearing on April 7, but had several concerns about the proposed rule. That was the projected date for the long-awaited settlement to be approved. Wilken made a preliminary approval in October but has delayed the final ruling twice because of concerns about the proposal. If Wilkens does not approve of the settlement, it could be sent to trial. For schools, there is still a chance for approval at the state level. The settlement comes in at $2.8 billion, with players looking to participate in a share of $20.5 million from the media revenues being offered to each school. This is set to begin on July 1. Related: Former Ivy League Star Turns Heads With Groundbreaking $6 Million NIL Deal House v. NCAA started in 2020 after Arizona State swimmer Grant House and TCU women's basketball player Sedona Price filed a class-action lawsuit against the NCAA and the five power conferences. The lawsuit sought to get Division I players paid who played before the current NIL era. Advertisement Related: NIL Has Killed College Football as we Knew it For now, this is still just a proposal that is waiting for further action. It could extraordinarily change with how schools handle athletics. Division I schools would have even more on the table than NIL money. Will schools stick to the NCAA guidelines if this proposal is approved? This could change college Division I sports in the long run. Either way, it's in the process of happening. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 31, 2025, where it first appeared.
