College athletes are seeking more than $1.4 billion in damages in an antitrust lawsuit challenging NCAA’s remaining rules regarding athletes’ ability to make money from their names, images and likenesses.
. The NCAA rules change came after many states had passed laws that allowed college athetes to get compensation from endorsements, public appearances and signing autographs, among other ventures.
However, the NCAA and the conferences wrote in Friday night’s filings that the reports of the athletes' economic experts are so flawed in their methodologies and assumptions that they do not allow the plaintiffs to meet the legal requirements for the damages claims to proceed on a class-action basis. The NCAA and the conferences also argued that those defects are so pronounced that Wilken should exclude the reports from her consideration of the request for class certification.
►Desser also determined that of the dollar amount connected to that percentage in a multi-sport media deal, 75% can be attributed to football, 15% to men's basketball and 5% to women's basketball, 5% to Olympic sports. In first conference, football players would get $32,400; men's basketball players $64,400 and women's basketball players $9,500.

The school's interim president, DeSantis ally and former state House Speaker Richard Corcoran, said in a memo to the trustees that he wanted the professors' tenure denied or delayed in part because of the administrative changes and because of “a renewed focus on ensuring the college is moving towards a more traditional liberal arts institution.”
