What happened

Plaintiffs allege that certain NCAA rules restricting student-athletes from accepting prize money in non-NCAA tennis competitions violated federal antitrust laws by limiting compensation for athletic performance. The NCAA denies these allegations. The NCAA agreed to pay $2 million into a Settlement Fund for the Damages Class and to eliminate certain restrictions on pre-college enrollment student-athletes' acceptance of prize money.

Do you qualify?

You may be included if you competed in NCAA Division I tennis between March 19, 2020 and the date of judgment, or were ineligible to compete in NCAA Division I tennis due to the NCAA's Prize Money restrictions. The Damages Class includes people who voluntarily forfeited prize money earned in a tennis tournament between March 19, 2020 and November 21, 2025, and either competed in NCAA Division I tennis or submitted information to the NCAA Eligibility Center.

How to file

Damages Class Members must submit a Claim Form by February 8, 2027, unless the deadline is extended, either online through the claims portal or as directed. Each claim must include a valid NCAA ID number and adequate documentation for each tournament where prize money was forfeited. You can contact RG/2 Claims Administration LLC for free help or to obtain your NCAA ID number.
