A former college baseball pitcher, Riley Cornelio, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit against the NCAA, alleging that the organization's restrictions on athletic scholarships have led some athletes to pay more for their education. The lawsuit seeks damages related to tuition costs. This legal action comes in the wake of a $2.8 billion settlement over NIL compensation, which eliminated the NCAA's cap on scholarships for most sports. However, the new proposed class action argues that this settlement does not address the damage caused to athletes who previously competed under the cap. Additionally, an athlete-led objection to the House v. NCAA settlement has been filed, with plaintiffs in Choh v NCAA arguing that the settlement would end their case without addressing the issues related to the Ivy League's prohibition of athletic scholarships.
Source confirms to @FOS that we should expect more than one objection to the House case filed before the 5pm PT deadline tomorrow. (Ivy League athletes already filed theirs today.) I'll have a story breaking down the objections on Mon, after everything is filed.
News: The first athlete-led objection to the House v. NCAA settlement has been filed. Plaintiff lawyers in Choh v NCAA, a case over the Ivy League's prohibition of athletic scholarships, say the House settlement would end their case w/o addressing the issues in it.
