Plaintiff’s attorneys are targeting next week to file with the court the long-form agreement in the NCAA’s landmark settlement of the House, Hubbard and Carter antitrust cases, they tell Yahoo Sports.

However, college athletic leaders from the four power conferences and NCAA are working through finalizing edits to the long-form document, a process that could delay the expected filing date next week and result in an extension from the court.

“We’re waiting for their final comments. We are hoping to file by the end of next week,” Jeffrey Kessler, one of the lead plaintiff’s attorneys in the case, told Yahoo Sports on Tuesday.
