As Judge Weighs Landmark N.C.A.A. Settlement on Pay, Not All Athletes Approve

When the N.C.A.A. and the nation’s marquee athletic conferences agreed in May to settle an antitrust lawsuit with a group of athletes, it was viewed as a landmark development that would usher in a new era of college sports in which schools could pay their athletes big money for their talents.  As the parties in the suit, House v. N.C.A.A., laid out details of the agreement, complaints came largely from the smaller schools that had been cut out of the negotiations and were being required to subsidize more than a third of cost of the proposed $2.8 billion settlement.
