Fontenot attorneys push to deny NCAA settlement

Plaintiffs’ attorneys in the Fontenot v. NCAA antitrust lawsuit, which is not part of a recent $2.78B settlement agreement, filed a motion Friday asking a judge to “deny preliminary approval of the deal.” The attorneys said that the agreement to three antitrust lawsuits facing the association and five major conferences is "settling for 'just pennies on the dollar.'” A preliminary approval hearing in front of U.S. Judge Claudia Wilken in the Northern District of California has been scheduled for Sept. 5 (AP, 8/9).
