The NCAA's $2.8 billion antitrust settlement is facing over a dozen legal objections, potentially delaying its approval. While experts believe the deal will likely pass, concerns raised include possible illegal caps on athlete compensation, insufficient funding for women and lower-tier athletes, roster limitations impacting future opportunities, and conflicts of interest among plaintiffs’ attorneys. Delays in implementation could lead to uncertainties for colleges preparing to pay athletes. Some states have already implemented laws enabling payment regardless of the NCAA settlement's outcome, potentially impacting recruitment.
‘The settlement would allow schools to directly pay their athletes moving forward and force the NCAA to pay back-damages to a group of more than 100,000 former and current athletes.’
‘Any significant delay in the settlement could create a new wave of uncertainty and chaos for college athletic departments who have made plans to begin paying their athletes this summer.’
