The landmark settlement in the House vs. NCAA antitrust case appears one step closer to being finalized by the U.S. district court overseeing the matter after both plaintiffs and defendants submitted a notable tweak to proposed roster limits that were at the heart of a two week delay to the process.
Following a stern warning last month from Judge Claudia Wilken that made it clear she would not issue a final approval of the settlement if the parties didn’t adjust previously agreed upon limitations capping the number of players on rosters, lawyers for the Power Five conferences and the NCAA spent much of the past week discussing various models that would allow current players to be grandfathered into the proposed new system that was set to more stringently cap the number of players each team could carry. According to a new filing that was made just before a court-issued deadline on Wednesday, an interim solution was reached that all involved hope will be the final hurdle to clear in resolving the $2.8 billion case that is poised to significantly reshape college athletics for the next decade and beyond.
