United States District Court Judge Claudia Wilken indicated she was set to approve the landmark House v. NCAA settlement after holding a final hearing on Monday in a federal courthouse in Oakland.
Speaking to lawyers for the schools and the association, plaintiffs’ attorneys and to several objectors of the agreement over the course of a seven-hour day, Wilken raised a few sticking points that could be hammered out over the course of the next week. Ultimately, though, she looks set to give final approval in the near future.
