The House settlement, which is expected to revolutionize college athletics, has hit a minor snag.
Federal judge Claudia Wilken informed the NCAA on Wednesday that she would not approve the settlement unless some changes are made where the new roster limits are concerned and made it clear that unless they are the settlement would be denied.
Wilken said immediately implementing roster limits would lead to some college athletes losing their spots on their current teams. Earlier this month, during a hearing, Wilken suggested the NCAA consider delaying its new roster size rules to “grandfather in” current athletes.
