The NCAA and the Power Five conferences are defendants in a massive antitrust lawsuit that could result in billions of dollars in damages.
The legal fight for control of the Pac-12 takes a critical turn early next week. Will Washington State and Oregon State be deemed the sole members of the conference’s governing board? Will the 10 departing schools retain their votes and defy the two left behind?
U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken’s ruling in an antitrust case pushed the NCAA closer to paying billions of dollars in damages. But what if the Cougars and Beavers instead decide to join the Mountain West, which is not part of the lawsuit? Would they still be on the hook for damages? That piece is less clear, according to a source with knowledge of the House case.
The House case involves more than 10,000 athletes broken into three tiers, each of which received class status from Wilken last week: football and men’s basketball players; women’s basketball players; athletes in all other sports. So if the Big Ten’s $1 billion annual deal with Fox, CBS and NBC were framed by the argument presented in the House case, the conference’s athletes would be responsible for $100 million of the total valuation — and should be compensated fairly.
