What happened
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.
Do you qualify?
All persons who worked as a "volunteer coach" for a NCAA Division I sports program (other than baseball, FBS football, or men's or women's basketball—though FCS football volunteer coaches are included) for any period between March 17, 2019, and June 30, 2023.
