from the article:

"The ruling was met with enthusiasm by Hausfeld, who leads a team that includes more than a dozen law firms that have invested more than $20 million in legal fees pursuing the lawsuit since 2009."


$20 million bucks ..... and I've just been bullsh*&ing with guys on here to kill time ...... these people are serious .......

Good end of college football...sports...as we know it

How money is already being passed around the players do deserve since they are the product we watch.

I think each athlete on a team should be compensated based on the amount of money brought to the school. I don't mean for the football players to be paid all the money but a monthly or semester stipend should be given to every athlete. Most of the times, they just participate in school and their sports. It's like them having a part time job on the side

Say good-bye to non-revenue sports. Doubt anybody will miss those anyway.

Will this $ come directly from the NCAA without any effect on the $ each school receives from the conference, tv contracts?

non-revenue sports = non-fan sports .....

Guilford College here operates a full slate of intercollegiate athletics for both men and women ..... and in any practical sense - they're all non-revenue sports, including football and men's bball ......

UNC could dial it all back to something like a Guilford College scale and frankly no one would care other than the people directly involved ........ if anybody really, truly cared - they wouldn't be non-revenue sports in the first place ..... they would have fans and earn revenue .......

if it's truly important for mankind for UNC to operate a world class collegiate women's golf team - fine ...... just go find somebody to pay for it other than simply ripping off Reggie Bullock and Gio Barnard for no reason other than they aren't organized to protest otherwise ......

This probably means the super conferences will move towards holding their own March Madness tournament to keep that $200M+ per year versus allowing the NCAA to absorb all that money.

kinda' late to try to get back control of the b-ball $, but that's precisely why we don't have a football playoff in Division -1...

Actually I disagree. All they have to do is become unaffiliated and the tourney is theirs. NCAA can have what teams remain and the big teams can absorb the money
