NCAA Has Spent $84 Million on Lititgation

ADVERTISEMENTS

The NCAA, which can't seem to keep itself out of court or out of its own way, has spent at least $84 million on litigation in the last 10 years, according to a study done by the Indianapolis Star. This figure includes the reported costs of any settlements during that period.

That number may pale in significance to the costs which, both financial and to the way in which the NCAA operates, if the organization is not able to win all three of the pending suits which we have recently discussed here, here and here. The O'Bannon class action has the potential for the largest financial hit but the Ohio case has the potential to be the most significant in the terms of the way in which the NCAA operates and the balance between the NCAA and its member institutions on the one hand and the student athletes on the other. We'll keep an eye on all three and keep reporting on their progress.
