Arrington Concussion Settlement: Important Deadline Today

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) member institutions have a fast approaching deadline (May 18, 2020) to comply with certification requirements under the Arrington class action settlement agreement. Because an institution may significantly reduce its potential exposure in subsequent litigation by making the certifications identified in that settlement, it is important to determine whether it has met the member obligations identified in the relevant portion of the Arrington settlement and, if so, to timely make the required certification.  

The Arrington case challenged the NCAA’s management of concussions in student-athletes participating in athletic programs prior to July 15, 2016. While individual institutions were not named in the lawsuit, every NCAA school may enjoy the protection of a release for related claims that might otherwise be brought by members of the settlement class, if the institution complies with the requirements set forth in the settlement agreement.
