SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - College athletes asked a U.S. appeals court on Wednesday to revisit part of a ruling in a high profile case over NCAA compensation rules, according to a filing.
Last month the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled that the NCAA must permit schools to provide student-athletes sums covering up to their cost of attendance. However, the three-judge 9th Circuit panel also reversed a lower court order providing for up to $5,000 per year beyond that.
The athletes on Wednesday asked the 9th Circuit to reconsider its ruling on the $5,000 payments before a larger, 11-judge panel.
