Judge: NCAA Must Defend Athlete Compensation Limits

Jason Scott Headshot

A U.S. district court judge has ruled that the NCAA must defend in court the limits on compensation that student-athletes can receive for playing sports.

USA Today reports that Judge Claudia Wilken, who oversaw the Ed O’Bannon trial, handed down the ruling on Wednesday and set a trial for Dec. 3. Plaintiffs in the suit are seeking to block the NCAA and a group of 11 collegiate athletic conferences from limiting the kinds of scholarships student-athletes can receive. The NCAA hopes to limit this kind of compensation to covering the costs of tuition, fees, room, board, books and incidental costs, but the plaintiffs hope for a ruling allowing conferences to set their own compensation rules for Division I men’s and women’s basketball and FBS football.
