So whatās next? If the objections are deemed valid, the court could require changes to the settlement terms before granting final approval. If overruled, the settlement could proceed as originally proposed. Itāll be interesting to see what the judge does here.
Objections galore to the House settlement this morning. Roster limits are a big complaint, but the salary cap continuing to violate antitrust law, Title IX & other issues are raised as demonstrated by this one. There will likely be many more objections filed by Friday.

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a statement of interest in House v. NCAA, expressing concerns that the settlement "may not 'cure the ill effects of the illegal conduct'" as it "allows the NCAA . . . to continue fixing the amount" schools can pay for NIL.

Really interested to see how this develops under the new administration šš¼ #NIL
This is an important development, although the Department of Education is expected to run differently under the new administration (and there are politicians who want to change how Title IX applies to sports in general)

The recommendation is now going to move to the NCAA oversight committee and the NCAA Division I council for final approval, which is not guaranteed. Not sure setting more restrictions on transfer would look great for the #NCAA right nowā¦
AFCA head coaches are proposing to move the transfer portal to a 10-day window in early January after bowl games with spring window eliminated (except for graduate transfers).

What a wonderful week teaching at @LSULawCenter for Apprenticeship week! I had the honor of teaching the Sports/NIL class with @Dflesh10. The studentsā passion, curiosity, and insightful questions were truly inspiring. Excited for the bright future of #NIL and #sportslaw

Great / complicated question- NCAA would play a role, but, would likely need backing/involvement with state legislatures bc many states have their own NIL laws. Or also professional licensing boards, similar to the Uniform Athlete Agents Act (UAAA) in some states. Separately, Collectives could advocate for self-regulation or certification processes. In theory, fed legislation could establish national NIL agent standards too, which would supersede varying state laws (just to name a few ideas)

This is only the beginning. #NIL
A bill has been introduced in Illinois that would amend the Student-Athlete Endorsement Rights Act, providing if an athlete earns $250K+ from the use of their #NIL, then any academic scholarship granted to them shall be reduced by $1 per dollar the athlete earns over $250K.
