Plaintiffs' lawyers in the House v. NCAA case are seeking at least $525 million in attorneys' fees and costs related to a landmark $2.8 billion settlement over college athletes' compensation. Additionally, they have requested the right to apply for further fees, potentially totaling around $250 million, to be paid over a decade. The settlement is expected to enhance benefits for college athletes by $20 billion or more over the next ten years. In a separate class-action lawsuit, a prospective class of current and former students is claiming $685 million against 17 elite universities, alleging they favored wealthy applicants in admissions to secure donor contributions. The lawsuit raises concerns about the admissions and financial aid policies of these institutions, which include prestigious schools such as Cornell, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania. The suit alleges that students overpaid these colleges by $685 million due to a price-fixing scheme.
