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).

If settling the landmark House v. NCAA case was ever a game of chess, it's now a full-on game of chicken between lawyers and U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken. The latest: After Wilken asked the lawyers last month to change how the settlement would implement new roster limits, they came back with their tweaks Wednesday, saying schools would be permitted — though not required — to grandfather in current athletes who have lost spots (or could lose spots) because of the potential legal agreement.
