NCAA athletes can pursue television money, judge rules

I can see both sides of this argument.

slowly but surely, football is changing

all the money involved, more people wanting pieces of it, lawsuits, safety, etc

it's a huge mess

sounds like the title of that article is expansive and generous to the plaintiffs

quote:

---

Judge Claudia Wilken issued her ruling Tuesday, rejecting the NCAA's motion that players in the antitrust suit led by former UCLA star Ed O'Bannon should be precluded from advancing their lawsuit on procedural grounds.

---

the judge ruled that the suit's claims about pursuing tv money won't be thrown out, as best i can tell. i don't think that it actually ruled on the issue of revenue or damages one way or another

quote:

---

"Although our motion to strike was denied, the judge has signaled skepticism on plaintiff's class-certification motion and recognized the plaintiffs' radical change in their theory of the case," Remy said. "This is a step in the right direction toward allowing the NCAA to further demonstrate why this case is wrong on the law and that plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate that this case satisfies the criteria for class litigation."

yeah sounds like the NCAA filed a motion to strike certain parts of the plaintiffs' claims, and the judge denied the motion. that's all. the class hasn't even been certified yet

RIP small schools
