AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. — If Judge Claudia Wilken denies the seminal House v. NCAA settlement this week, the University of Louisville will likely move forward with paying its athletes directly, athletics director Josh Heird told The Courier Journal.
“That's probably the path we would go down,” Heird said at ACC spring meetings. “Just from the standpoint of the more control you can have of the situation, the better. It's been a little bit disjointed with outside entities, collectives, doing things. So I would presume that's the road we would go down.
