An appeal against the NCAA's antitrust settlement raises Title IX issues and pauses payments to former college athletes while maintaining current athlete payments. A group of athletes filed the appeal on grounds that the $2.8 billion in back payments disproportionately favors football and men's basketball players, conflicting with equal funding requirements under Title IX. Attorney John Clune asserts that equitable dispersal is critical, emphasizing the need for accurate assessments to avoid financial harm to women's sports as well as fairness in compensation distributions.
The NCAA's antitrust settlement will not stop payments to current college athletes but will delay payments to former athletes while an appeal processes through the courts.
Attorney John Clune argued that the settlement violates Title IX by allocating the majority of back payments to football and men's basketball players, potentially disadvantaging women's sports.
