Episode 67: More NIL Lawsuits! Can the Cardiac Wolf Pack Pull off Another Win?

Episode 67: More NIL Lawsuits! Can the Cardiac Wolf Pack Pull off Another Win?

The proposed House settlement will provide billions of dollars of benefits for current, future, and (some) former college athletes, but it provides no compensation for athletes who played before 2016. Two new lawsuits seek to change that by arguing that the NCAA owes compensation to all college athletes who continue to appear in NCAA highlights, videos, and ads on television broadcasts and NCAA.com.  If successful, these lawsuits could open the door to thousands of athletes across several decades receiving NIL compensation. To help break it all down, I'm joined by the lead plaintiff's lawyer on these cases, Elliot Abrams, Partner at Cheshire Parker.
