How can you "attempt to represent all FBS players" if
they don't give you permission to do so?

This suit also completely violates Title IX laws at least for public universities.

Its dated from almost 20 months ago.Im sure its in the sytem or been thrown out by now.

Nope.

From 2 days ago:

quote:

Lawyers for the NCAA and a group of conferences that are facing two lawsuits challenging the association’s compensation limits for athletes on Monday asked a federal judge to dismiss the cases. The NCAA and the conferences argue that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling in the Ed O’Bannon antitrust case — which allowed a compensation cap to stand at athletes’ full cost of attending school — requires that the cases be decided in their favor without further action.

The same way lawyers represent people versus major video game developers, medical malpractice, etc. You don't have to give permission you just have to be hurt by the defendants actions. That's how class action suits work.

As for Title IX you would have to pay female athletes but only proportionately to male athletes. That can be fixed by cutting coaches salaries or raising prices.
