New federal lawsuit targets NCAA restrictions on college player compensation

A federal antitrust lawsuit has been filed against the NCAA in California, accusing it of imposing unlawful restrictions on player revenue sharing across 17 states, including California and New York. This suit follows the House settlement that caps revenue sharing at $20.5 million and claims that such limitations violate state laws allowing college athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness. The lawsuit is on behalf of affected college football and basketball players, including Stanford quarterback Charlie Mirer. It argues that the NCAA's coordinated actions unlawfully restrain competition within states that have enacted their own NIL laws.
