Nate Snyder and Adam Brown discuss the recent 2.8 billion dollar settlement the NCAA has entered into in multiple class action lawsuits, including House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA, and Carter v. NCAA. These were cases based in antitrust law, and the settlement is still subject to approval by a Federal Judge. The settlement does not necessarily establish legal precedent, but it does give some indication as to what the NCAA will do in the coming years, and it opens the door to a model that is much closer to a “pay-for-play” setup. There are other antitrust-based cases that are not part of this settlement, including the Fontenot case, and there are other employment and unionization cases pending in other areas. Nate and Adam talked about what could happen going forward with all of these cases, and they discussed this settlement’s potential Title IX implications, its possible impact on the transfer portal and collectives, what will happen with so-called “non-revenue” athletes and sports, and other emerging areas to watch going forward.
