I’m not sure where to put this, because pieces of it are in multiple threads. But..Judge Wilken delayed the House vs NCAA settlement because of the roster limit issue. (She wants it phased in the limits as we discussed on another thread). I agree phasing in the limits would be better.

A federal judge told the NCAA and its members Wednesday that she would not approve the multibillion-dollar antitrust settlement that is expected to reshape the business of college sports unless they change a proposed policy for limiting roster sizes.

Judge Claudia Wilken said the NCAA’s insistence on immediately implementing roster limits would cause some college athletes to lose their spot on their current teams and that she could not approve a settlement that would cause harm to some members of the plaintiff’s class. She wrote that she did not have issues with any other parts of the proposed settlement and that the court “tentatively finds it can grant final approval” to the remainder of the settlement if the roster limits issue is resolved.

Judge delays House settlement over roster limits

The judge overseeing the multibillion-dollar settlement has delayed final approval until the deal is modified to address concerns about roster limits.

Badge:

I’ve been saying for the past couple of months that the DOE will be significantly neutered in the next few months and with it Title IX will likely be watered down or go away completely.

Prescient comment!
