NCAA Formally Files Settlement Documents That Outline Plans for Paying Athletes

The NCAA and the power conferences have formally filed settlement documents that outline their plans for paying former and current athletes.

The NCAA and the five conferences with autonomous decision-making power (ACC, Big Ten Conference, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC) announced Friday that they filed documents with the Northern District Court of California to settle three class-action lawsuits against the NCAA – House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA and Carter v. NCAA – and create a model that will pay damages to former athletes and share revenue with current athletes.

As previously announced by NCAA president Charlie Baker, the settlement will pay $2.
