House plaintiffs attorneys have sent a letter to NCAA and power conference leaders calling for a retraction of the College Sports Commission's guidance on NIL collective deals issued earlier this week, per Yahoo's Ross Dellenger. Jeffrey Kessler and Steve Berman plan to bring the issue before Federal Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins, who has been appointed to resolve settlement disputes, writing: “There is nothing in the Settlement Agreement to permit (NCAA and conference) or the CSC, acting on their behalf, to decide that it would not be a valid business purpose for a school’s collective to engage in for-profit promotions of goods or services using paid-for student-athlete NIL. To the extent the NIL payment is for the promotion of a valid business purpose, it is irrelevant whether that payment comes from a NIL collective or any other third party.” A CSC spokesperson responded to Dellenger, stating: “The guidance issued by the College Sports Commission yesterday is entirely consistent with the House settlement and the rules that have been agreed upon with class counsel. The defendants have been in close coordination with class counsel on the key provisions in the memo and will continue to work with them to resolve any concerns they may have.” (link)
