Lawyers who represented plaintiffs when Supreme Court unanimously ruled against NCAA are seeking millions in damages for college athletes.
McCarrell was deprived of receiving Academic Achievement Awards that she would have earned each year that she attended Oregon and the first two years that she attended Auburn,” the suit alleges. The suit says the plaintiffs “are informed and believe that there are several thousand” athletes who would be covered. Berman and Kessler also are leading the case already pending before Wilken that seeks to build on the Alston case in a different way. Based primarily on the dollar-value limits listed in the NCAA Division I rulebook, Wilken determined their maximum cash value to be $5,980. Those awards are the items given for winning championships or participating in bowl games, which have provided athletes with gift cards and and/or an array of merchandise. That case not only asks that the NCAA be prevented from having association-wide rules that “restrict the amount of name, image, and likeness compensation available” to athletes but also seeks unspecified damages based on the share of television-rights money and the social media earnings it claims athletes would have received if the NCAA’s current limits on NIL compensation had not existed. It is connected directly to Wilken’s injunction in the Alston case. The case filed Tuesday also seeks to be a class action. The NCAA and a group of 11 conferences settled the damages portion for $208.7 million. We have yet to find members of Congress who don't worry about the athletes as the victims of the exploitation. Tuesday’s suit is the fifth antitrust case against the NCAA that has been led or co-led by the Seattle-based firm Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP. district court judge in March 2019 and unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court a little more than two years later.

Winston & Strawn LLP's Sports Litigation Practice, co-led by David Greenspan and David Feher, is one of the country's most highly regarded sports litigation practices. The Winston & Strawn and Hagens Berman teams previously served as co-lead class counsel in this case's predecessor, Alston, which culminated in a unanimous Supreme Court win. "While the injunction striking down the NCAA's restrictions on education-related compensation, which was unanimously affirmed by the Supreme Court in Alston, unlocked life-changing benefits for NCAA Division I athletes moving forward, it did not rectify the harm suffered by thousands of Division I athletes who were unlawfully prevented from receiving education-related compensation before the injunction was issued," said Winston & Strawn Co-Executive Chairman Jeffrey L. NCAA (House) antitrust class action against the NCAA, have filed a new antitrust class action in the Northern District of California against the NCAA and the five power conferences (Big Ten, SEC, Pac-12, ACC, and Big 12). "Since the Supreme Court's decision in Alston, dozens of Division I schools have announced that they will be providing $5,980 academic awards to athletes across all sports," explained Steve W. Because the NCAA's prohibitions on these academic incentive payments were held to violate the antitrust laws and permanently enjoined in Alston, the suit contends that the NCAA cannot contest liability in this damages action.

SFU found itself in a difficult spot after the Great Northwest Athletic Conference stopped sponsoring football after the 2021 season, forcing the Red Leafs to ...
"This is a difficult decision, and not one taken lightly," SFU president Joy Johnson said in a statement. "With the recent announcement that the team has not been invited to continue in the Lone Star Conference, we do not have a conference to play in beginning in 2024. The conference, which is made up primarily of teams from Texas, announced in February it did not renew the relationship with SFU, which is located about 140 miles north of Seattle.
A new class of student-athletes say the NCAA and the five wealthiest college athletic conferences owe them millions in withheld academic awards.
The NCAA has lost two previous lawsuits filed in the Northern District of California that have gone to trial before U.S. “Should the court permit defendants to relitigate these issues, and it should not, any argument that banning academic achievement awards preserved consumer demand for college sports fails as a matter of law," the plaintiffs continue. They also suggest a judge could find the defendants’ concerted conduct constituted an "unreasonable restraint of trade" with respect to all class members. It also says that athletes should get a cut from the billions of dollars some conferences make from media rights deals. They include current and former Division I college athletes whose damages claims were not litigated in the 2019 case, despite having attended schools which chose to compete for athletes by offering academic achievement awards, missing out on them due to the NCAA’s restrictions. The association then revised its bylaw to allow all Division I college athletes to receive academic achievement awards each academic year.
Athletes who participated on teams on or after April 2019 at schools that now provide Alston benefits could be entitled to back pay.
And because so many schools rushed to provide the benefits, the filing essentially alleges that the payments would have existed for more athletes earlier had they been permitted — as long as the athletes satisfied their school’s academic requirements for receiving an award. The House case seeks damages dating back to 2016 for athletes who were not yet able to make money off of their names, images and likenesses. This is a gap in the relief Alston provided, so we’re going to fill that gap.” “But the Alston case did not provide for damages for the years that had that effect. [That landmark case](https://theathletic.com/4208923/2021/06/21/supreme-court-rules-against-ncaa-in-dispute-over-athlete-compensation/) paved the way for schools to provide athletes up to $5,980 a year for academic-related benefits if so inclined. This lawsuit serves a direct follow-up to the Alston case, Kessler told The Athletic on Tuesday.
