Eight female former and current college athletes have recently appealed a $2.78 billion NCAA settlement to the Ninth Circuit. This settlement involved past name, image, and likeness (NIL) compensations and was originally contested over its Title IX implications. The athletes previously raised concerns regarding how the allocation of these settlements might affect gender equity in college sports. The decision to approve this settlement was finalized last Friday. For more detail on this legal development, you can read the coverage on Law360.
