Episode 64: Can the NCAA Prevent Additional Future (or Current!) Antitrust Lawsuits? With Garrett Broshuis, Lead Counsel for the Plaintiffs in Fontenot v. NCAA,.

The NCAA and the Power 5 conferences reached a historic proposed settlement in the House, Hubbard, and Carter cases, that will not only provide over $2.7B in back damages to eligible college athletes who don’t opt out of the settlement, and will create a revenue sharing model going forward (among many other things), but will also attempt to limit the possibility of other antitrust lawsuits in the present and the future challenging restrictions on athlete compensation.  One of those other lawsuits is Fontenot vs. the NCAA, an antitrust suit first brought in federal court in Colorado last year by the law firm Korein Tillery, led by Garrett Broshius. Garrett joins the pod to break down why he’s bringing the case, how the House settlement impacts his case, his view on the House settlement, and why he’s not ready to settle.
