1. House v. NCAA Settlement Survives Latest Title IX Objections

“The House v. NCAA settlement earned further judicial backing Thursday, as U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken denied a handful of objectors’ motions to block the five-month-old agreement’s injunctive relief, largely along Title IX lines.

The objectors had argued that the settlement, as constructed, had effectively induced schools to distribute revenue to athletes in a manner that disproportionately benefited men and disadvantaged female members of the class.

Those arguments, however, had already been raised prior to the settlement’s final approval in June. Wilken appeared no more persuaded this time around, reiterating her previous guidance that if class members believed schools were violating Title IX, their remedy lay in separate gender-equity lawsuits.”
