Who is eligible for the NCAA Grant-in-Aid Settlement. How much compensation can former college athletes receive. When will settlement checks be distributed. What were the key issues in the antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA.
Overview of the NCAA Grant-in-Aid Settlement
The NCAA Grant-in-Aid Settlement stems from an antitrust lawsuit filed against the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) regarding limitations on athletic scholarships. The settlement provides compensation to certain Division I men’s and women’s basketball players and Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) football players who received athletic scholarships between March 5, 2010 and March 21, 2017.
This class action lawsuit argued that NCAA rules restricting grants-in-aid to below the full cost of attendance were unlawful. As a result of the settlement, eligible athletes may receive payments to make up the difference between their scholarship amounts and the full cost of attendance at their schools.
Who is Eligible for Compensation?
To be eligible for compensation under this settlement, athletes must meet the following criteria:
- Played NCAA Division I men’s or women’s basketball, or FBS football
- Received an athletic scholarship between March 5, 2010 and March 21, 2017
- Scholarship covered at least tuition/fees, room and board, and required books for at least one academic term
Athletes who received reduced scholarship amounts due to also receiving non-athletic financial aid may also be eligible. The settlement aims to compensate athletes for the gap between their scholarship amounts and the full cost of attendance during this time period.
How Much Compensation Can Athletes Receive?
The amount of compensation varies based on several factors:
- Number of years the athlete received a scholarship
- Whether the athlete’s school offered cost of attendance stipends
- Sport played (football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball)
Estimated payment amounts were made available to class members in August 2017. While exact figures vary, many athletes are expected to receive between $5,000-$10,000 in compensation, with some potentially receiving more based on their individual circumstances.
How was compensation calculated?
Compensation was calculated based on the estimated difference between the athletic scholarships athletes received and the full cost of attendance at their schools. This gap typically ranged from $2,000-$5,000 per year. Athletes who played multiple years on scholarship may be eligible for larger total payments.
Settlement Distribution Timeline
The timeline for distributing settlement payments to eligible athletes has been as follows:
- December 6, 2017 – Final court approval of the settlement
- April 17, 2019 – Appeals process concluded
- September 27, 2019 – Initial batch of settlement checks mailed
- October 25, 2019 onwards – Remaining checks mailed in batches every 3-4 weeks
There was a delay in distributing payments due to an appeal filed by an objector to the settlement. Once this appeal was resolved in April 2019, the settlement administrator began preparing to issue payments starting in late September 2019.
Key Issues in the Antitrust Lawsuit
The lawsuit against the NCAA centered on several key antitrust issues:
Restrictions on athletic scholarships
The plaintiffs argued that NCAA rules limiting athletic scholarships to below the full cost of attendance violated antitrust laws. They claimed these restrictions amounted to unlawful caps on athlete compensation.
New NCAA rules on cost of attendance
In 2015, the NCAA changed its rules to allow schools to offer scholarships covering the full cost of attendance. The lawsuit sought damages for the period before this change when scholarships were more restricted.
Monetary damages sought
The student-athlete plaintiffs sought monetary damages to make up for the gap between the scholarship amounts they received and the full cost of attendance at their schools.
While the NCAA denied any wrongdoing, they ultimately agreed to the settlement to resolve the claims against them.
Impact on NCAA Amateurism Rules
This settlement marked a significant development in the ongoing debate over NCAA amateurism rules and athlete compensation. Some key impacts include:
Acknowledgment of gaps in scholarship values
The settlement implicitly acknowledged that previous scholarship limits left a gap between what athletes received and the full cost of attending college.
Pressure for further reforms
This case added to the growing pressure on the NCAA to reform its rules regarding athlete compensation and benefits. It has contributed to ongoing debates about allowing athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness.
Legal precedent
While settled out of court, this case established some legal precedent for challenging NCAA rules on antitrust grounds. It may inform future lawsuits or reform efforts.
Participating Schools and Conferences
The settlement impacts athletes from a wide range of Division I schools and conferences. Some notable inclusions:
Power Five conferences
- SEC (Southeastern Conference)
- Big Ten
- ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference)
- Big 12
- Pac-12
Other FBS conferences
- American Athletic Conference
- Mountain West
- Mid-American Conference (MAC)
- Sun Belt
- Conference USA
Basketball-only conferences
- Big East
- Atlantic 10
- Missouri Valley Conference
The full list of participating schools includes over 200 institutions that offered athletic scholarships in FBS football, Division I men’s basketball, or Division I women’s basketball during the relevant time period.
Criticisms and Controversies Surrounding the Settlement
While the settlement provided compensation to many athletes, it has not been without criticism:
Adequacy of compensation
Some argue that the settlement amounts do not fully make up for the restrictions placed on athlete compensation during their college careers. Critics contend that athletes were underpaid by much more than just the cost of attendance gap.
Continued restrictions on athlete pay
The settlement does not fundamentally change the NCAA’s amateurism model or allow athletes to receive compensation beyond scholarships and cost of attendance stipends. Some advocates argue more comprehensive reform is needed.
Administrative challenges
Identifying and contacting all eligible athletes from the relevant time period has proven challenging. Some former athletes may be unaware of their eligibility for compensation.
Taxation of settlement payments
Questions have arisen about how settlement payments should be treated for tax purposes. Some athletes may owe taxes on the compensation they receive.
Despite these criticisms, the settlement has provided tangible benefits to many former college athletes who were subject to the previous scholarship restrictions.
Broader Context of NCAA Legal Challenges
The Grant-in-Aid settlement is part of a larger pattern of legal challenges to NCAA rules in recent years:
O’Bannon v. NCAA
This 2014 case successfully challenged NCAA rules prohibiting athletes from receiving compensation for use of their names, images, and likenesses. It paved the way for cost of attendance stipends.
Alston v. NCAA
A 2021 Supreme Court ruling that further loosened restrictions on education-related benefits that schools can provide to athletes.
State laws on name, image, and likeness
Multiple states have passed laws allowing college athletes to profit from endorsements and other uses of their name, image, and likeness, forcing changes to NCAA rules.
The Grant-in-Aid settlement, while focused on a specific set of scholarship restrictions, fits into this broader trend of legal and legislative challenges to traditional NCAA amateurism rules.
As debates over college athlete compensation continue, this settlement serves as an important milestone in the evolving landscape of college sports. It provided concrete benefits to thousands of former athletes while also highlighting ongoing questions about the fairness and legality of restrictions on athlete compensation.
NCAA Grant-In-Aid-Settlement
If You Played NCAA Division I Men’s or Women’s Basketball or FBS Football between March 5, 2010 and March 21, 2017, You May Be a Class Member Entitled to Compensation.
Update: The initial batch of checks was mailed on Friday, September 27, 2019. Remaining checks will mail in batches every 3-4 weeks starting on October 25, 2019 until all checks are sent. Please know that we are working diligently to complete the distribution as soon as possible. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
On December 6, 2017, the Court entered an Order granting Final Approval for the Settlement. Unfortunately, there was one objector to the Settlement who has filed an appeal from the Final Approval Order, which means distributions to Class Members cannot begin until that appeal is fully resolved.
On April 17, 2019, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit filed a Memorandum denying the appeal and affirming the lower Court’s Order granting Final Approval for the Settlement. That Memorandum can be seen here.
Per the rules of the Supreme Court of the United States, the objector has had until July 16, 2019 to seek further review of the appeal in the Supreme Court. As of July 17, 2019, the objector has not sought further review of the appeal so the appeal is now fully resolved and we expect settlement checks to begin mailing out to Class members by approximately August 23, 2019.
KCC, the Settlement Administrator, is preparing the distribution and must run several processes and internal reviews to ensure the checks are calculated correctly and sent to a valid address. Please be patient as this can take time.
We appreciate your continued patience.
In re: National Collegiate Athletic Association Athletic Grant-In-Aid Cap Antitrust Litigation
Case No. 4:14-md-02541-CW
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
OAKLAND DIVISION
The Notice provides information about a proposed class action Settlement concerning National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) Division I collegiate athletes who played men’s or women’s basketball, or Football Bowl Subdivision (“FBS”) football between March 5, 2010 and March 21, 2017, and who received from an NCAA member institution for at least one academic term (such as a semester or quarter) either (1) athletically related financial aid in an amount equal to or greater than tuition and fees, room and board, and required course-related books, or (2) athletically related financial aid that was not equal to or greater than tuition and fees, room and board, and required course-related books only because it was reduced by the applicable NCAA member institution by an amount of nonathletically related financial aid received by the student-athlete.
The lawsuit involves claims by student-athletes who have received a scholarship package, referred to as a grant-in-aid, or GIA, since March 5, 2010. The student-athletes argued for monetary damages based on the difference in athletically related financial aid they could have received under new NCAA rules allowing for athletically related aid up to the full “cost of attendance,” typically a few thousand dollars more per academic year. The defendants deny they did anything wrong. The Court has not ruled on the merits of these claims.

Why is my school included or not included as a COA School?
Plaintiffs’ evidence showed that some schools (but not necessarily all) would have more likely than not provided athletically related financial aid above GIA during the class period if allowed to do so. As a result, and as part of the Settlement, Class Members are eligible for distribution who attended schools that provide, have provided, or have indicated by or before June 1, 2017 an intent to start providing any portion of the gap between the amount of GIA allowed prior to August 1, 2015 and full COA to at least one Class Member at that school. For other schools, where the evidence indicated it was not more likely than not the schools would have provided athletically related financial aid above GIA, Class Members who attended those schools will not be eligible for distribution. The evidence included Plaintiffs’ statistical model as well as whether there was evidence the school had provided athletically related financial aid above GIA when allowed to do so or stated a specific commitment to do so in the future.
NCAA College-Athletes to Receive Checks in $208 Million Antitrust GIAs Class-Action Settlement
Deadline passes for sole objector to appeal, tens of thousands of current and former NCAA Division 1 student-athletes will soon receive payout
SAN FRANCISCO – A long-awaited payout to current and former NCAA Division 1 college-athletes has arrived, as a sole objector to a $208 million class-action settlement missed the deadline to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, according to law firm representing the class of college-athletes, Hagens Berman.
Attorneys say distribution of the settlement funds will begin in August. The range of average distribution for class members who played his or her sport for four years is currently estimated to be approximately $5,000 to $7,500. Distribution of the settlement proceeds was held up pending resolution of the Ninth Circuit appeal of Darrin Duncan, the only person out of 53,748 class members to object to the deal.
“We are incredibly grateful to the tens of thousands of college-athletes who have patiently awaited the objector’s deadline, and we are ecstatic to see settlement funds delivered to their rightful place,” said Steve Berman, managing partner of Hagens Berman. “We believe this case speaks to the ability of class-action lawsuits to return real results to plaintiffs and leave lasting impact.”
Attorneys for the plaintiffs ensured that settlement funds did accrue interest while in escrow. As of May 1, 2019, the total interest earned since inception of the NCAA GIA escrow account was more than $1. 3 million.
The first-of-its-kind suit originally filed in 2014 alleged the NCAA and its most powerful conference members the Pac-12, Big Ten, Big-12, SEC and ACC systematically colluded to disrupt the free market and robbed NCAA Division I players of the full economic benefits of their labor. The lawsuit argues that in a just scenario, free of the NCAA’s antitrust collusion, schools would gladly compete for the attendance of talented student-athletes by at least providing the full cost of attendance through Grants in Aid (GIAs).
In late 2017, Judge Claudia Wilken granted final approval of a $208 million settlement in the nationwide class action regarding NCAA-imposed caps to student-athletes’ scholarships. On March 8, 2019, Judge Wilken also ruled in favor of the class and granted their requested injunction. The injunction will prohibit the NCAA from enforcing any rules that fix or limit education-related compensation and benefits provided to college-athletes by schools or conferences in consideration for their athletic services.
Affected NCAA student-athletes can visit the settlement website for a more specific calculation of their individual recovery and eligibility and for more information about distribution.
The case specifically affects all Division I collegiate athletes who played men’s or women’s basketball, or Football Bowl Subdivision football between Mar. 5, 2010 and the date of preliminary approval of the settlement, Mar. 21, 2017, and who received from an NCAA member institution for at least one academic term (such as a semester or quarter) (1) a full athletics GIA required by NCAA rules to be set at a level below the cost of attendance, and/or (2) an otherwise full athletics GIA.

NCAA Class Action Says Athletes Should Receive Compensation
The National Collegiate Athletic Association is facing a new antitrust class action lawsuit regarding the organization’s policy on student-athlete compensation.
Plaintiffs Grant House, an Arizona State University swimmer, and Sedona Prince, a University of Oregon basketball player, filed the complaint Monday.
In addition to the NCAA, the class action lawsuit names as defendants the Pac-12 Conference, Big Ten Conference Inc., Big Twelve Conference Inc., Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference.
At issue is the NCAA’s rule that athletes may not receive any compensation for the use of their name, image or likeness.
Last fall, California adopted a law expanding athletes’ publicity rights.
California’s Fair Pay to Play Act, previously known as Senate Bill 206, will create an unrestricted market in the state for student-athletes and others to use and profit from their names, images and likenesses. The provisions of the bill are expected to become operative Jan. 1, 2023.
As of April 2020, 34 states had introduced bills recognizing college athletes’ right to compensation for the commercial use of their names, images and likenesses, the NCAA lawsuit says.
The NCAA said it supported athletes making money from “third-party endorsements both related to and separate from athletics,” but said it is revising its own rules and has continued to lobby Congress to bar those laws in other states, according to the NCAA class action lawsuit.
The plaintiffs claim the NCAA’s April promise to revise the policies was “vague, indefinite and noncommittal.”
The NCAA class action lawsuit alleges the organization’s restriction on licensing and sale of Class Members’ names and images violates the Sherman Act, which restricts interstate commerce and marketplace competition.
The plaintiffs maintain that if they were free to license and sell the rights to their own images, more licenses would be sold. They say the defendants’ unlawful conduct deprived the plaintiffs of “compensation for the use of their names, images, and likenesses—property rights with economic value.”
“This unreasonable restraint on competition has artificially limited supply and depressed compensation paid to Plaintiffs and the members of the Classes for use of their images, likenesses and/or names,” the complaint says.
The NCAA class action lawsuit alleges further violations of the Sherman Act in that it claims the defendants “entered into a continuing horizontal and vertical contract, combination, and conspiracy … to effectuate a horizontal group boycott of members of the Classes.”
In effect, the plaintiffs say, the defendants’ actions constitute “a refusal to deal with members of the Classes on compensation rights issues, and forecloses them from access to the market. ” The defendants use the NCAA’s eligibility rules as a threat of a boycott to force the student-athletes to abide by the rules.
Plaintiffs House and Prince say the NCAA and other defendants have become “unjustly enriched” as a result of their allegedly unlawful conduct, and therefore should not be allowed to retain those benefits.
The proposed Class includes all current and former student-athletes competing on an NCAA Division I athletic team at any time in the four years leading up to the filing of the complaint.
The NCAA class action lawsuit also proposes a Social Media Damages subclass of all current and former student-athletes competing on an NCAA Division I athletic team at a college or university that is a member of one of the Power Five Conferences, as well as a Group Licensing Damages subclass including all current and former student-athletes competing on an NCAA Division I men’s or women’s basketball team or an FBS football team at a college or university that is a member of one the Power Five Conferences during the same four-year period.
This is far from the only litigation the NCAA has faced in recent years. In 2017, the NCAA along with 11 conferences settled allegations that they worked together to suppress student-athlete scholarships by agreeing to pay close to $209 million.
The plaintiffs in this most recent NCAA class action lawsuit are seeking actual damages according to proof presented at trial; treble damages, a judgment voiding the NCAA’s bylaws restricting student-athlete compensation; an injunction preventing the NCAA and Conference defendants from enforcing their agreement to restrict the amount of compensation available for Class Members’ name, image and likeness; attorneys’ fees and costs; and any other compensation deemed appropriate by the Court.
Do you think the NCAA should allow student-athletes to receive compensation for their name or likeness? Are you an NCAA athlete who has been prevented from receiving compensation? Let us know in the comments section below.
Plaintiffs House and Price are represented by Steve W. Berman, Emilee N. Sisco and Benjamin J. Siegel of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP.
The NCAA Student-Athlete Compensation Antitrust Class Action Lawsuit is Grant House And Sedona Prince, et al. v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, et al., Case No. 4:20-cv-03919, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Oakland Division.
NCAA Begins Paying Out $208M in Settlement Money
College athletes are finally receiving payments from the NCAA as part of a $208.7 million settlement, one part of a lawsuit against the NCAA and 11 major conferences concerning the association’s athlete-compensation limits.
The other part of the lawsuit seeks an injunction against the current compensation limits and has been sent to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The payments, in some cases as much as $20,000, are being delivered to current and former athletes who played in the years just before schools were allowed to offer scholarships based on the full cost of attending college.
According to the USA Today, the settlement applies to more than 43,000 athletes in Bowl Subdivision football and Division I men’s basketball and women’s basketball. While the average check was a little over $3,800, USA Today obtained records from the Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, the law firm overseeing distributions, which showed:
- More than 8,100 checks are for amounts between $5,000 and $10,000.
- Nearly 1,300 are for amounts between $10,000 and $20,000.
- There are 14 for $20,000 or more, including one for a little more than $36,000.
“It’s good they’re trying to rectify a situation that was messed up when we were in college,” Cam Fleming, a former Stanford offensive lineman now playing for the Dallas Cowboys, told the USA Today.
The case was filed back in March 2014. However, an objection from a single player and his attorney, as well as other delays, tied up the settlement money for so long that it earned an additional $1. 3 million in interest.
Blake Martinez, a former Stanford linebacker now with the Green Bay Packers, puts the arrival of his check into what he sees as broader narrative of compensation improving for college athletes.
“I think at some point, it’s going to become a time where … they are getting paid,” Martinez said. “I think this is just a first step to it. And I think it’s a cool thing to kind of be a part of that.”
2021 NCAA final pits Gonzaga vs. Baylor. But all unpaid athletes lose in the end.
UPDATE (June 21, 2021 11:27 a.m. E.T.): The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Jun. 21 that the NCAA “violated antitrust laws when it limited the amount students could receive for musical instruments, scientific equipment, postgraduate scholarships, tutoring, academic awards and paid internships,” but did not address whether student athletes could be directly paid.On Sunday, a champion was crowned as Stanford outlasted Arizona for the women’s NCAA Division I basketball national championship. Monday night it’s the men’s turn, when the undefeated Gonzaga Bulldogs take on Baylor.
The NCAA’s setup is manifestly unjust.
After the final buzzers and after the trophy ceremonies, the unpaid athletes will go home for remote classes, and the NCAA will cash checks from its $8.8 billion television deal.
The NCAA’s setup is manifestly unjust, and after decades of building up its cartel in so-called amateur athletics, it looks like a day of reckoning is finally coming.
Johnny Cash sang, “Sooner or later God’s gonna cut you down.” It might not be God, but the Supreme Court perhaps looks ready to step in and do some chopping. The mustiest joke about this Supreme Court is that if Justice Clarence Thomas actually pokes his head up and deigns to speak, you might be in for six more weeks of arguments.
But that wasn’t the case for the recent suit brought by former Division I men’s and women’s college athletes that challenges the NCAA’s rules restricting compensation for players.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Alston v. NCAA and came down hard against the NCAA. Thomas’ surprising contempt toward the NCAA — alongside further condemnations by right-wing justices Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh — augurs very poorly for this very peculiar nonprofit and its legal “right” to keep players in a position of peonage.
Once all the confetti has been swept away, this is still a gutter economy predicated upon the organized theft of Black wealth.
But for all the fire and brimstone directed at the organization’s egregious practice of profiting off the free labor of its athletes, none of the justices really touched on what underpins this entire operation: Once all the confetti has been swept away and CBS is done broadcasting “One Shining Moment,” this is still a gutter economy predicated upon the organized theft of Black wealth.
The NCAA is a multibillion-dollar operation. Its president, Mark Emmert, makes about $4 million a year. The top 10 executives at this peculiar nonprofit make a combined $8 million. Salaries for coaches in the revenue-producing sports of football and men’s basketball have exploded over the last generation. Danny Ford, the head football coach at Clemson University when it won the 1981 national championship, made $50,000. The team’s current coach, Dabo Swinney, cashes an annual check worth $8.3 million.
It has become awash in cash for everyone except the players, whose blood, sweat and tears produce the product so passionately consumed by the public. The so-called student-athletes — who, in the words of former All-American basketball star Laron Profit, are really “athlete-students” — act as essential workers on campus. They risk injury, concussions and now infection from Covid-19, all to keep the reservoirs of money in constant flow. And it is Black athletes — as well as Black bodies — who bear the brunt of this system.
Black athletes are the foundation of NCAA athletics, according to the NCAA’s own numbers. When you look at the top schools and who actually plays, the numbers are overwhelming. Yet the leaders of the power conferences, the overwhelming number of the coaches and the top executives at the NCAA are white. As Patrick Hruby wrote in a damning 2016 exposé, the situation is defined by a set of features that can only be described as a racial injustice.
It has become awash in cash for everyone except the players, whose blood, sweat and tears produce the product so passionately consumed by the public.
It’s becoming harder to insist that it’s a coincidence that the two sports that utterly depend on Black labor — basketball and football — are also the only two sports that don’t have robust minor-league pipelines to the pros but instead have minor leagues funneled through higher education built upon unpaid labor.
The entire operation, as Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Taylor Branch put it, “has the whiff of the plantation.” And it’s time for the public to admit that it stinks to high hell. Players see it, recently putting out hashtags on social media like #notNCAAproperty. But players haven’t been heard for decades, despite their protest.
All this does not even begin to touch on the scandal of the separate and decidedly unequal conditions for female NCAA athletes, most recently exposed on social media when Stanford University sports performance coach Ali Kershner pointed out the differences in the weight rooms for the female competitors compared to those of their male peers at the NCAA basketball tournaments. (Emmert, the NCAA president, is on an “apology tour” to women’s coaches for the rank sexism and paucity of resources that are business as usual under his watch; to what end remains to be seen.)
This organization is best understood as a boat that is taking on water from all sides. The NCAA is going to need a bigger boat, but it looks like the Supreme Court won’t be coming to its rescue. If that’s what it takes to enact some change in the long run, then it should be welcomed with open arms.

NCAA Concussion Settlement Medical Monitoring Program
If you played one or more sports sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) at an NCAA member school, you may be entitled to free medical screening and, if qualified, free medical evaluations (known as “Medical Monitoring”) up to two times until November 18, 2069.
On August 13, 2019, a U.S. District Court Judge granted final approval of a Settlement that ended the class action lawsuit named In re National Collegiate Athletic Association Student-Athlete Concussion Litigation.* The suit had been brought on behalf of then-current and former NCAA student-athletes. The suit claimed that the NCAA had been negligent and had breached its duty to (1) protect current and former student-athletes by failing to adopt appropriate rules regarding concussions and/or (2) manage the risks from concussions. The named plaintiffs sought medical monitoring for all qualifying current and former student-athletes, among other benefits.
The NCAA denied and continues to deny all allegations of liability and wrongdoing. Nonetheless, the Parties to the Litigation have reached a Settlement, which is now final.
The Settlement went into effect on November 18, 2019, and the Medical Monitoring Program commenced on February 18, 2020.**
This website describes the Medical Monitoring Program and explains how current and former student-athletes may receive free screenings and Medical Evaluations through the program.
You are a member of the Settlement Class (meaning you are a “Settlement Class Member”) if you played an NCAA-sanctioned sport at an NCAA member institution at any time on or prior to July 15, 2016 and have not excluded yourself (“opted out”) from the Settlement Class. You do not need to have been diagnosed with a concussion to be a member of the Settlement Class.
Participation in the Medical Monitoring Program is completely voluntary. If you are an eligible Settlement Class Member and want to participate, you may register here.
Registered Settlement Class Members may complete the screening questionnaire, which will be used to determine eligibility for an in-person Medical Evaluation, here.
*The lawsuit titled In re National Collegiate Athletic Association Student-Athlete Concussion Litigation, Case No. 1:13-cv-09116, was presided over by Judge John Z. Lee of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
**The Medical Monitoring Program will commence 90 days after the Settlement’s Effective Date, which is November 18, 2019. The Medical Monitoring Period will span 50 years after the Settlement’s Effective Date, i.e., until November 18, 2069.
90,000 Alexander Kaun: “There are a lot of stupid rules in the NCAA”
The US Student League season is coming to a close – on April 5th, the quartet of this year’s best university teams will start playing in the “Final Four”.
Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin and Kentucky fight for the championship title. The main fifth number of CSKA, who played for Kansas at one time, won the trophy coveted for many American (and not only) students in 2008 and knows exactly what is happening in the States.Before the start of the decisive matches in NCAA, Eurosport.ru asked the bronze medalist of the 2012 Olympics to tell us why US residents are going crazy with the “March madness”.
– Are you able to follow the developments in the NCAA?
Championship of Russia
Alexander Kaun successfully operated in the USA
11/06/2013 At 14:11
– Yes, I try. Mainly I follow my former team – Kansas. And so, when there is an NCAA tournament, I try to record a few games and watch them.
– What can you say about the current finalists? The Florida Gators have won 30 games in a row …
– All teams are generally good, but I think Florida is still the favorite based on the game they are showing at the moment. It’s hard to judge when one game decides everything, but the Gators will still be able to win this year.
– Have you ever played against Florida? Are there good basketball traditions?
– Yes, we played with them once, in my opinion.There is still more university football than basketball, despite the fact that they won the NCAA championship for two years in a row (in 2006 and 2007 – approx. Eurosport ). But, in any case, there is a good atmosphere, the team is good and the coach is very good.
– Is Kansas still strong compared to the time you played there?
– Of course it does. In my opinion, the team has won the Big 12 conference for the tenth time in a row. A lot of work has been done, but this year the team was very young and inexperienced.And when one of the centers was injured and could not play in the last matches, it greatly influenced them. Therefore, in principle, the season turned out to be quite good, despite the fact that we lost to Stanford in the third round.
ESPN pays several million per match
– How justified is this playoff format in the NCAA?
– I think there is more excitement for the audience. More surprises when a single match is played instead of a playoff series. To become a champion, you need to win six matches, which is very difficult.And everything can affect one game. Any team can beat any team, which attracts spectators and makes this tournament one of the most spectacular.
– What else, besides the format, so attracts the attention of American fans?
– There are many reasons. A lot of people once went to college, played when they were still students, and they still have a thirst for competition and sports. They continue to root for their universities and follow their teams. Many people just love watching NCAA more than professionals, because athletes are children, and it is not some money that plays there, but simple guys for their own pleasure.
– How easy is it to follow student matches in the USA?
Students Prepare for the Final Four NCAA

– Pretty easy because mainstream channels like ESPN are bound to show all the big matches. This is even if you don’t even include game conferences. Many games are shown and so – two big teams are playing, and ESPN chooses this match, pays certain money for it. They pay several million to show this game. It is clear that they, at the same time, earn tens of times more, but the essence remains.Any big game can be watched on national television – it will be shown everywhere, all over the country. And there are local channels that broadcast matches across the state. They are not broadcast nationwide, but the whole of, for example, Kansas will see the game of the team of their university. But they show all the games.
– Does this kind of focus have a big impact on players, especially freshmen?
– Personally, I didn’t think much about it. More influenced by the fact that you go to the site in front of the eyes of 16 thousand fans in the hall.This puts more pressure on you than TV cameras.
– Are people admitted for free or does the university sell tickets?
– Yes, of course it does.
– Did the players discuss the financial issue on your student team? Like how much money the university makes from basketball games.
– Honestly, I don’t know. It is clear that this is a lot of money, but I have no exact figures. One can only guess.
– American football player Bobby Rom told us in an interview that his college coach made $ 5 million a year.In basketball, are coaches’ earnings comparable to that amount?
– I think there is a lot more money being made in American football. But there are several trainers who receive this kind of money. At our university, a coach re-signed a 10-year contract for $ 40 million or so.
– Do a lot of fans go to the playoffs in other cities?
– Fans always leave, and the further you go, the more fans appear in the stands.
– Does the university somehow pay for such trips for students?
– No, mostly people leave at their own expense.
– It turns out that people’s favorite team may not be from the NBA at all, but from a local university?
– Yes, for example, my wife’s parents are big basketball fans. They both studied at the university and regularly go to almost all the matches. They still continue to follow the team, follow it, and all this is only at their own expense.
– Can you say that the American education system is helping college sports to be so popular?
– Of course, yes. I say this is a great sport. Many people start rooting for teams from an early age and do so throughout their lives.
– Does the absence of some centralization in the location of leading universities help the development of sports?
– Yes. In the US, the system is more linear. Not like we do, when there are two or three universities in Moscow, which are considered the best, and everyone is trying to go there.In the states, all this is expanded, and a good education can be obtained at any university.
– When choosing a university, did you rely heavily on basketball?
– I have a programmer’s degree, but before entering I knew that there are strong basketball traditions there. Kansas is one of the top universities in the states and I knew they had a good team. When it came to choosing, I went there.
I go to a restaurant, ask for a check, and the person who left has already paid for me
Alexander Kaun speaks warmly about his performances in the NCAA
Photo: AFP
– The NCAA is a huge organization with many different committees.Have you often encountered bureaucracy during your studies?
– Personally, I don’t, but we had a small investigation with one player on the team. Several rules were violated there, and then this player was banned from nine matches. But everything seemed to be more or less all right.
– Are there many rules for the student player?
– In theory, yes. Again, it all depends on how much you control it. If you are given a car, of course, you cannot take it.There are many rules that are pretty dumb in principle. But you can get into a situation in which you can do nothing. For example, I go to dinner at a restaurant, ask for a check, and they tell me that some person who has already left has already paid for you. And what can I do now? Yes, this is a violation of the rules, but again, I found myself in a situation in which there was nothing I could do about it. There are many rules, and in this regard they are rather stupid and tough.
– What, for example?
– You cannot be driven by someone who is associated with the university.This is a ban. It is impossible for someone to give money – there are many things that are connected with the support of the players. This is the guy who came under investigation – when he was in the ninth grade, he had one person in his family. The player was already considered a big prospect, he did not have a father, and this man, in fact, replaced him. But he was a graduate of our university, and when the player entered him, the commission suspected that he invited the basketball player to the university. I personally think this is just dumb. But they decided everything there, and the player just served nine games.
– Does having such a rigid system help the development of student basketball?
– To some extent, yes. Because it puts universities on an equal footing. It is clear that many illegal actions are taking place, but there are universities that have a lot of money and that have little money. If not for these rules, the state of affairs would be rather unbalanced, and more players would go to universities that offer more money.
150 thousand people gathered at the big parade
– Do you feel strong emotions after winning the NCAA finals?
– Not everyone manages to do this and overcome this path.There are a lot of good memories, and I am glad that this happened in my life. Once again, I would not refuse to survive.
– How is the team and university celebrating this success?
– After the game we stayed overnight in the city, and the next morning flew home. There were about two to three thousand people at the airport who met us. After that, we went directly to the football stadium, where about 20 thousand fans were already waiting for us. Everyone said a few words, showed the video, and the next day or the next day there was a big parade.There gathered 100-150 thousand.
– But what about the frenzied party of players?
– ( Laughs ) It is clear that after the game we were all together on the same floor in the hotel: the players, the support group, and the former players. Everyone was having a good time. Again, it must be borne in mind that everyone is underage, and all the rules must also be followed. And after that already who and where was, where I went, I do not know. This is all separately ( laughs ).
– The captain of the NCAA basketball team meets the captain of the girls cheerleaders, how is it shown in the movies?
– No, I honestly don’t know anything about it ( laughs ).
– Does the NCAA have a policy against doing this?
– No, there is no such thing. At the university, in this regard, you can do whatever you want.

90,000 Maori Davenport, screwed up by a US basketball bug, can now play school ball
Charles Henderson High School basketball player and Rutgers-hired Maori Davenport can play on their team tonight thanks to an urgent motion from the Pike County Judge. Until today, she was not eligible for the senior season due to the failure of US basketball, which was compounded by the Alabama High School Athletic Association’s ludicrous interpretation and application of its own policies.
On November 30, Davenport, Sr., was informed that the AHSAA had denied her one year entitlement. In the summer, she played for the United States in the American Under-18 Championship, so USA Basketball sent her a check. Despite the NCAA’s obsession with amateurism, college players can accept national team money.However, for high school students, the rules differ from state to state. In Alabama, payouts cannot exceed $ 200.
Davenport’s father, Mario, cashed a check for $ 857.20 and USA Basketball only realized its mistake two months later. When Davenport’s mother Tara was informed of the incident, she returned the money to the organization, and also reported herself to the high school and state association on November 28.
There was no illegal scheme here. US basketball admitted the mistake and Maori Davenport said her parents called her coach to make sure she could cash the check and got the approval.The money was returned and Davenport informed the school of the error, so there was no cover-up either.
Earlier this month, this test caught the attention of the whole country. ESPN basketball analyst Jay Bilas outlined the situation during the Kentucky-Alabama broadcast, and a few days later interviewed AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese and tore him apart:
After losing all possible AHSAA appeals, the Davenport family filed this week a lawsuit against the association and Savarese, asking the court to invalidate the decision, which led to an urgent motion.Maori Davenport may continue to play his final season until Pike County District Court Judge Sonny Reagan holds a hearing. She is expected to play against Carroll High School tonight.
