U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken has granted class-action status for damages in the House v. NCAA case. USA Today's Steve Berkowitz explains: "Attorneys for the NCAA and the conferences had written in legal filings that the athletes are seeking more than $1.4 billion. The filings did not specify whether that figure takes into account the tripling of damages awards that occurs in successful antitrust cases. If it does not, then more than $4.2 billion could be at stake in the case. Specifically, the suit claims that football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball players at schools in the Power Five conferences are entitled to damages related to the use of their NIL’s during telecasts of games and that athletes in any sport at a Power Five school are entitled to damages related to social media earnings." Also notable from today's proceedings, per Boise State (DI) Asst. Professor Sam Ehrlich: "The NCAA's expert witness (testifying on the Title IX impact of revenue sharing) is excluded. ... Two plaintiff economics experts are kept in the case." (link, link); Here’s the full 52-page decision. (link)

Baldwin Wallace College of Education and Health Sciences Dean Steve Dittmore ponders whether college athletics has reached peak sport sponsorship, noting that DIII schools are sponsoring more sports, 20.58 on average in 2021-22 compared to 18.56 in 2002-03 and the overall number of sport sponsored increasing from 2019-20 to 2021-22 despite there being 11 less institutions. “Conclusion? Division III has always valued the student-athlete experience far more than other divisions by offering increased participation opportunities and embracing a campus culture in which, in many instances, more than half of the student body participates in a sport. … While the pandemic temporarily slowed growth of sports sponsorship in Division III, the growth mindset is back on track.” Dittmore adds: “It is evident that Division III institutions view sports sponsorship as both an essential tool to maintaining or increasing enrollment and as part of their individual missions. However, that bubble may be ready to burst as Division III schools appear to be pulling back on adding sports. … While adding sports certainly has the potential to boost enrollment, it does create operational challenges with additional needs for practice facilities and locker room space. Athletic departments concerned with creating a positive student-athlete experience might be reconsidering how to foster that environment when athletes need to store gear in their dorm rooms or schedule lifts at odd times in order to not miss class. More sports equals more costs.” (link)

Insight Sports Advisors CEO Debbie Spander in an op-ed for Sportico observes that the “NCAA has basked in self-governance for almost 120 years” and asks: “Why does it ‘need’ federal government regulation now, and why does the NCAA believe it deserves any kind of antitrust protection? What the NCAA is lobbying for should be a nonstarter. It should take heed of Sen. John Kennedy’s (R-LA) warning to NCAA President Charlie Baker at the most recent congressional hearing last month: ‘I’d be real careful about inviting Congress to micromanage your business.’” Spander also argues a national NIL database will do nothing to protect athletes, drive deals or inform the NCAA. “The use of uniform NIL contracts is not only a terrible idea, but also not feasible. As a lawyer and an agent, I have negotiated thousands of agreements. Sponsorship, social media marketing, appearance and media deals all require different forms. The same applies to NIL deals. … One form will never cover these and will, in fact, lead to more confusion in the NIL marketplace. And the contents of these agreements are confidential information. The NCAA and its members would be better served by abandoning their efforts on Capitol Hill and focusing on a bilateral solution that respects all stakeholders, including college athletes.” (link)
