153 NCAA rules had to be eliminated to clear the way for the House settlement. Numbers to know
FILE - TCU's Sedona Prince celebrates after her team's win over Louisville in the second round of the NCAA college basketball tournament in Fort Worth, Texas, Sunday, March 23, 2025. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez, File) The groundbreaking case leading to the transformation of college sports in the United States comes nearly five years after Arizona State swimmer Grant House and Oregon basketball player Sedona Prince filed a complaint against the NCAA and the five most powerful conferences alleging they were unfairly being denied of pay for use of their name, image and likeness. The settlement approved by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken resolved three antitrust cases — House vs. NCAA, Carter vs. NCAA and Hubbard vs. NCAA — that became known collectively as the 'House case.' Advertisement The class-action lawsuits contended the NCAA, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC violated antitrust law by not providing benefits and compensation to athletes and restraining athletes' ability to make money for endorsements and sponsorships. Incremental gains won by athletes in previous lawsuits against the NCAA set the stage for the House settlement and the all-out professionalization of college sports. A look at key numbers associated with the case: 389,700 Athletes who played an NCAA sport between 2016-24 and could be eligible for back payments 101,935 Class members who submitted a claim form or updated their payment information, which represents approximately 26.2% of the 389,700. Advertisement 357 Athletes who opted out of the settlement and could pursue their own remedies. $2.8 billion Back damages to be paid to current and former college athletes who were denied the opportunity to profit from the use of their NIL rights. The amount will be paid in $280 million installments over 10 years. The NCAA will use reserves and insurance to cover about 40% of the payments. The rest will be covered by the NCAA reducing its annual distributions to Division I schools. 95% Estimated amount of the $2.8 billion that will be paid in back damages to football and men's and women's basketball players in the power conferences. Advertisement $20.5 million The 2025-26 pool of money each Division I school can distribute in direct payments to athletes beginning July 1. The amount represents 22% of the average revenue generated by each school from the five defendant conferences and Notre Dame. 153 NCAA rules that had to be eliminated to allow schools to provide additional benefits to athletes under the settlement. $600 All Division I athletes will be required to report to their schools and the Deloitte clearinghouse any and all third-party NIL contracts with a total value of $600 or more, if payment occurs after July 1, 2025. The clearinghouse will determine whether the amount is commensurate with the athlete's fair market value. Advertisement $20 billion The widely accepted estimate by University of San Francisco sports economist Daniel Rascher of additional direct compensation athletes will receive over the next 10 years. $10 billion The estimated amount of damages faced by the NCAA and the five conferences if they avoided a settlement and lost at trial. $475 million Plaintiffs attorneys' request for legal fees. The figure is based on attorneys receiving 20% of the NIL settlement fund and 10% of the additional compensation settlement fund as well as an injunction relief award of $20 million paid by the defendants. That does not included about $9 million in expenses attorneys are claiming. ___ AP college sports:

Hot San Diego Restaurant Openings You May Have Missed, May 2025
Each month brings a new slate of exciting new restaurants to San Diego, whether it's a splashy new restaurant helmed by an iconic chef, a low-key neighborhood spot, or a pop-up settling into a permanent location. Consider this monthly rundown a go-to guide for the newest and boldest debuts across San Diego. National City — The first stateside location for the Michelin-recognized Tacos El Franc is opening at the Westfield Plaza Bonita by May 30. Famous for its adobada and carne asada on corn tortillas, the taqueria originally debuted in 1974 when Javier Valadez sold Tijuana-style tacos out of a street cart; he later opened his open-air, brick-and-mortar taqueria in 1996. The 6,000-square-foot restaurant will carry the same dishes with additions like fries cooked in beef tallow. The cheve bar will be serving up Mexican beer, micheladas, clamatoes, and caguama, which are large bottles of beer. Their second location will open at 528 Fifth Avenue in the Gaslamp Quarter in late June. 3030 Plaza Bonita Road, Space 1108, National City, CA 91950. Coronado — Anchoring the highly anticipated $550-million revitalization project at the Hotel Del Coronado is the Nobu Coronado, which held its soft opening on May 7. The 150-seat indoor-outdoor restaurant with panoramic views of the Pacific includes an eight-person sushi bar and a 12-seat pagoda bar with Japanese whiskeys, sake, and cocktails. The menu includes the iconic miso black cod, squid pasta with garlic sauce and A5 Wagyu, and sashimi plates. Special dishes for the Coronado location include lobster truffle tempura, beef kushiyaki skewers, and tai sweet shiso. 1500 Orange Avenue, Coronado, CA 92118. East Village — A vibey brunch spot with bookcases and bespectacled roosters lining the walls opened downtown. Look for plates like the matcha and strawberries waffle pops, shrimp katsu Benedicts, guavas and cream French toast, and The Bucket, a hearty meal of fried chicken and buttermilk waffles in a familiar red-and white-striped bucket. Opened by the Rise and Shine Hospitality team, 6th & G Breakfast Co. is the team's first foray into an elevated brunch arena, complete with imaginative cocktails like Cotton Candy Sugar Rain, made with gin, elderflower, and raspberry tea, topped with cotton candy cloud. 695 Sixth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101. University Heights — A retro 1980s-Brooklyn-style pizza shop has opened in a 100-year-old building. Madison chef Tony Gutierrez partnered with Jose 'Franky' Pereyra to launch Sonny's, featuring a menu with dishes like pizzas like No Sleep Till Brooklyn (mozzarella and mushrooms) and Smoke on the Water (rapini, Italian sausage and smoked provolone). Other non-pizza items include Sonny's burger, baked clams, and chicken Francese. Music vibes extend to the cocktail menu with drinks like Run DMC, made with Drambuie, mezcal, and cynar. 1728 Madison Avenue, San Diego, CA 92116. Gaslamp Quarter — A new restaurant and bar debuted in the oldest hotel in San Diego, the Beau Hotel, formerly known as the Leland Hotel, which first opened in 1886. The original bar serves as the centerpiece at Bar at the Beau, featuring a wide range of cocktails paying homage to the hotel's history. Menu highlights include duck pot pie, grilled oysters, and braised pork shank. 927 Sixth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101. Chula Vista — A dumpling restaurant that's been honored with a Michelin Bib Gourmand for consecutive years has opened its first San Diego location in Eastlake. Luscious Dumplings got its start in San Gabriel in 2001 before branching out to other locations. Given that it's best known for its Northern-style handmade dumplings, first-timers should be sure to order the boiled chive, pork, egg, and shrimp dumplings, pan-fried pork dumplings, steamed soup dumplings, and stewed Angus beef noodle soup. 872 Eastlake Pkwy Suite 413, Chula Vista, CA 91914. Midway District — Opening in mid-June is Pho Leo and Grill, a Vietnamese restaurant with an open-concept grill center where meats will be made to order, a tradition commonly found in Vietnam. In addition to the grilled meat and 24-hour marinated rack of ribs roasting in a customized rotisserie, pho noodles will be made with rice flour each morning and com tam, a broken rice plate with grilled pork chops and steamed or fried eggs, will also be made to order. Owner Johnny Le will handle operations and Leo Truong brings his culinary expertise from Cu Chi, Vietnam where he owned a restaurant. Replacing Yum Yum Buffet, the renovated 6,300-square-foot restaurant can seat up to 150 people. 2855 Midway Dr, San Diego, CA 92110. Serra Mesa — From the family behind Cross Street Chicken and Beer, Grandma Tofu and BBQ, and Sunday Ice Cream, Edi Coffee is opening in Kearny Villa Square, next door to Pho Duyen Mai. The Korean-style 'Anju' café will serve small bar plates, along with coffee, natural wines, beer, and soju cocktails in a mobile cart style. The casual bar will also serve small Korean appetizers, like chicken wings, to accompany the drinks. 5375 Kearny Villa Road, Unit 113, San Diego, CA 92123. Sign up for our newsletter.

(AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez, File) The NHL playoff field included some unexpected entrants, and the first two rounds featured some surprises and a handful of upsets. Yet as things stand right now with the conference finals beginning Tuesday night, the teams still in contention for the Stanley Cup are a familiar mix of those who have been fighting for it the past few years. Advertisement The West final is a rematch of this same round last year with the Dallas Stars facing the Edmonton Oilers. The Carolina Hurricanes are in the East final for a second time in three years, awaiting their opponent from the winner of Game 7 between Florida and Toronto on Sunday night. 'We've already been in a conference final, and we know what's going to happen there,' said Carolina's Andrei Svechnikov, whose eight goals are second in the postseason to only Mikko Rantanen. 'It's not going to be easy there.' Nothing is easy this time of year. But some team is eight wins — the Panthers and Maple Leafs nine away — from hoisting the Cup. East: Carolina vs. Toronto or Florida Advertisement Game 1: Tuesday at Carolina if the Panthers win or at Toronto if the Leafs win (8 p.m. EDT, TNT) Oddsmakers had the Hurricanes among the championship favorites going into the playoffs, in part because their path included an opening series against New Jersey without best player Jack Hughes. They were also favored to beat Washington, then suffocated the Capitals to finish it out in five games. "You hope it's a value," coach Rod Brind'Amour said of playing just 10 games through two rounds and getting time off to heal. 'There definitely is something to that.' There is also something to Carolina being overlooked each year, dogged by a string of disappointing exits. But this team is one Igor Shesterkin goaltending showcase away from being in the East final for a third spring in a row. Advertisement The Hurricanes have allowed the fewest goals a game in the playoffs, thanks to Frederik Andersen's play in net and a penalty kill clicking at a top-ranked 93.3%. Their first line of Svechnikov, Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis has also been stellar. But they've also played with a bit of a chip on their shoulder without names-on-the-marquee star power. 'I don't know if this team gets maligned or this and that because we don't have an (Alex) Ovechkin: We don't have the greatest goal scorer of all time,' Brind'Amour said. 'And we don't have a (Nathan) MacKinnon or all these superstar kind of players. We have a little different mix, and we think we do have those kind of players — they just do it a little differently. Every team counts on all their players, but I think we definitely need everyone to contribute, and that's what you're getting right now.' The defending champion Panthers did not face Carolina on the way to the title last year, but they did in the East final in 2023, winning that series in a sweep before getting beaten by the Golden Knights. The most recent time Toronto got this far in the playoffs was 2002 — also against the Hurricanes, who won to advance to that franchise's first Cup final before losing to Hall of Famer-stacked Detroit. Advertisement West final: Dallas vs. Edmonton Game 1: Wednesday at Dallas (8 p.m. EDT, ESPN) Katy Perry was scheduled to be on tour at the Stars' arena on Wednesday night. Instead, it will be Corey Perry and the Oilers. Edmonton has rolled since opening the playoffs with a pair of losses at Los Angeles, getting back to the third round thanks to an unlikely combination of defense and goaltending. And, oh yeah, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have combined for 33 points, too. No big deal. The Oilers won the West final last year in six games, with Stuart Skinner putting up a 1.91 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage and the Stars' Jake Oettinger a 2.56 and .901. Oettinger has been a rock this playoffs to get Dallas through Colorado and Winnipeg and now has the chance to show he can carry a team into the final. Advertisement 'The guys that hadn't had any experience, we have all the experience in the world now,' Oettinger said. "It's up to us as a group to take that next step, and I think we should feel great about what we've done with the adversity we've faced. I think our best hockey is yet to come.' Peter DeBoer has now coached a team into the third round for the sixth time in seven years. He was fired twice in that span, once each by San Jose and Vegas. To play for the Stanley Cup that has eluded him, the Stars need to flip the script on the Oilers, with McDavid and Draisaitl also motivated 11 months since falling one game short of hockey's hallowed trophy. 'You've got two hungry teams that have been really close and haven't gotten there yet," DeBoer said. 'It's going to be a battle of wills here.' ___ AP Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins in Dallas contributed to this report. ___ AP NHL playoffs: and

Conservative Texas School Board Voted Out Amid Book Bans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Texas school board has voted out three conservative members in Mansfield. Why It Matters Voters in Mansfield Independent School District (ISD) overhauled the school board in the May 3 election, with challengers unseating incumbents—including the board president and secretary—in all three contested races. Texas is among the states that have seen a recent rise in book bans, with the Lone Star State issuing 625 bans during the 2022-23 academic year. The vote also followed a charged election season, fueled by heightened outside political involvement and growing debate over the influence of partisanship in local school governance. A Mansfield Independent School District school bus in Texas on October 6, 2021. A Mansfield Independent School District school bus in Texas on October 6, 2021. Tony Gutierrez/AP What To Know Ana-Alicia Horn, a data management professional in the event ticketing software industry, defeated incumbent Keziah Valdes Farrar in the race for the Mansfield ISD school board. Horn secured 60.3 percent of the 12,356 votes cast, unseating Valdes Farrar, a Realtor and current board president who had served since 2021. Jason Thomas, who manages road and bridge operations in Tarrant County's Precinct 2, unseated incumbent Craig Tipping in the Place 3 race. Tipping, a one-term board member with experience in physical therapy and roofing sales, secured 41.98 percent of the 12,269 total votes to Thomas' 58.02 percent. Jesse Cannon II, the director of visual and performing arts for Fort Worth ISD, won the race against incumbent Bianca Benavides Anderson, a sales consultant completing her first term on the board. Cannon led with 58.6 percent of the 12,163 votes cast. More than 63,000 ballots have been cast in Tarrant County, representing 5.14 percent of registered voters. Overall voter turnout in the county reached 98,564, or 7.99 percent. Incumbent Mayor Michael Evans was reelected to a third term, defeating Julie Short, a member of the City Council. One Republican said after the loss, "Mansfield has gone to Hell." State Democrats argued that the results were a sharp rebuke of Republican Governor Greg Abbott's Texas school voucher policy. The election fell on the same day that Abbott signed new legislation making more than 5 million students eligible to receive state funds for private school education. The state is set to allocate $1 billion over the first two years of the program to provide education vouchers for families. With the law's passage, Texas becomes the 16th state to extend public funding eligibility for private school tuition to all students. It comes after the Texas Senate approved legislation that sought to increase parental control over the books available in public school libraries. Senate Bill 13, filed last month by Republican state Senator Angela Paxton, passed with a 23-8 vote and now advances to the Texas House for consideration. If enacted, the bill would shift final decision-making authority over new library materials from school librarians to local school boards. It would also establish a process allowing parents to request the removal of specific books, which would be taken off shelves pending a school board review. What People Are Saying Democratic Texas state Representative Chris Turner wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "There is something poetic that the day Greg Abbott signs his voucher scam into law, reform candidates in Mansfield ISD are running the table. Voters are angry about the way our public schools have been treated in #txlege and want strong, pro-public education leaders." Activist Carlos Turcios wrote on X: "Horrible News in Mansfield Texas. The Radical DEI Left has flipped the conservative school board. Mansfield ISD has capitulated to the DEI-LGBTQ Left." What Happens Next The new school board members will likely push for policies that align with their pro-public education platform, potentially challenging some of the recent state legislation on school choice and curriculum.
