More than 50,000 former college athletes next month will begin collecting portions of a $208 million class-action settlement paid by the NCAA in a case that challenged its caps on compensation.
Hagens Berman, the law firm representing the plaintiffs in Alston v. the NCAA, said Wednesday that 53,748 FBS football players and Division I men's and women's basketball players who competed between March 2010 and March 2017 are eligible to receive compensation.
The law firm said payments will range from $5,000 to $7,500 for those who competed for four years, and checks will start being distributed in late August. Distribution was held up by one objector to the settlement, who missed a July 17 deadline to appeal the case to the Supreme Court.
