Right now, Judge Claudia Wilken is hearing testimony in one of the biggest cases for college athletes in history.
Here's what over 4,000 college athletes think about the pending House v NCAA settlement:
We support this landmark $2.8 billion settlement as a crucial first step toward fairness in college sports. If approved, it will finally allow schools to directly pay athletes up to $20.5 starting July 1st, ending a century of "amateurism" that denied athletes their fair share. While we celebrate this progress, we recognize challenges remain - from ensuring contracts are fair for both the schools AND the athletes, addressing roster limits, determining future transfer portal restrictions, schedule expansion, and more.
This settlement isn't perfect, but it represents historic progress in our ongoing fight for athletes' rights. The journey continues, but today marks a potentially pivotal moment in college sports history.
