Grant House Prevails in Landmark Settlement, But Olympic Sports Will Be Severely Affected

INDIANAPOLIS — Judge Claudia Wilken’s timing wasn’t intentional, but it certainly was exquisite. The morning after Wilken approved the settlement of the landmark House v. NCAA lawsuit that will revolutionize college sports, the named plaintiff in the suit was competing a mere four-minute walk from the front door of NCAA headquarters.

Grant House showed up at the IU Natatorium on Saturday morning to swim the 200-meter individual medley wearing a Gary Payton Seattle SuperSonics jersey, and at night for finals in a Rik Smits Indiana Pacers jersey. Those are two of many vintage NBA jerseys the swimmer owns. The 26-year-old former Arizona State Sun Devil can afford to buy more of them now if he so chooses after receiving a $125,000 “service award” in the settlement for putting his name on the suit.
