OAKLAND, Calif. -- A walk-on football player at Stanford and a gymnast at Temple have filed objections to the proposed lawsuit settlement that's set to reshape college sports, arguing proposed roster limits and back payments directed to scholarship players are unfair elements in the sweeping legal action that's set for its final hearing this spring.
David Kasemervisz, who played four seasons at Stanford as a "preferred walk-on," said language in the House settlement that calls for former players to receive $2.8 billion in back pay for name, image and likeness payments they did not receive before those payments were allowed should include athletes like himself and not just those who received scholarships.
