On Tuesday, lawyers filed an antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA for past educational payments to athletes as a part of the NCAA v. Alston case. The plaintiffs in the case are former Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard and former Oregon and Auburn track athlete Keira McCarrell.
In 2019, Claudia Ann Wilkens, district court judge of the United States District Court for Northern District of California, ruled against the NCAA, requiring it to allow schools to provide up to $5,980 in “non-cash education-related benefits” beyond scholarships to student-athletes, as the NCAA’s previous restrictions for schools violated the Sherman Act.
