NCAA Volunteer Coaches Lawsuit Settlement

The NCAA and its Division I member schools allegedly agreed through NCAA bylaws to prohibit paying compensation or benefits to volunteer coaches, which Plaintiffs claim was an illegal wage-fixing conspiracy under the Sherman Act. Volunteer coaches during the class period claim they were injured by this alleged conspiracy and seek damages based on what their compensation would have been absent the illegal agreement.

Settlement fund: $303M
Claim deadline: June 2, 2026
Represents: National Collegiate Athletic Association

“Recovery” and “exposure” refer to total disclosed settlement funds in associated cases, not money personally won or lost by an attorney. Settlements generally resolve disputed allegations without a finding that either side won. Data comes from public court dockets and may be incomplete.
