US Justice Dept questions landmark NCAA athlete pay settlement
- The U.S. Justice Department on Friday questioned the fairness of a private $2.8 billion settlement with the National Collegiate Athletic Association, suggesting it might not go far enough to compensate student athletes.
The U.S. Justice Department has raised concerns about a proposed $2.8 billion settlement between the NCAA and current and former college athletes, which aims to resolve antitrust lawsuits over the organization's restrictions on athlete compensation. The settlement, which would allow schools to pay athletes for the use of their name, image, and likeness (NIL), is under scrutiny for potentially not going far enough in addressing the underlying antitrust issues. The Justice Department's statement of interest, filed in a California federal court, suggests that the settlement might not adequately compensate athletes for past restrictions and could still allow the NCAA to maintain some control over athlete compensation, thus not fully resolving the antitrust concerns. This intervention could impact the final terms of the settlement, which is set for a preliminary approval hearing on February 29, 2025.
