WSF responds to final approved settlement in House v. NCAA

Published on June 7th, 2025

On June 6, 2025, the final settlement in House v. NCAA was approved. While it fails to remedy the concerns raised by WSF and others that class members are prohibited from bringing Title IX claims regarding the allocation of damages, the settlement does specifically state that Title IX claims can be brought regarding any new benefits and compensation made under the settlement if schools violate the law. WSF remains committed to protecting Title IX and broad-based sports opportunities so all student-athletes can access the lifelong benefits of college sports.
