A step remains, but Monday's landmark preliminary approval from U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken in the House vs. NCAA case is a significant step forward in the revenue-sharing, collegiate athletes' quest to be paid for their efforts.
The settlement, agreed upon by NCAA legal counsel and the representatives for the plaintiffs in the case, is for multiple billions of dollars and could begin a nearly $3 billion payout -- revenue distribution -- as part of the case as soon as midyear 2025.
However, legal experts urge that the "preliminary" qualifier on the matter reflects that the case is not wrapped up neatly with a bow.
