Colorado Judge Denies NCAA Motion to Transfer Fontenot Antitrust Case on Compensation Restrictions
May 23, 2024, 04:02 PM
A Colorado judge has denied the NCAA's motion to transfer the Fontenot v. NCAA antitrust case to California. The NCAA had hoped to consolidate this case with other antitrust cases, including House, Carter, and Hubbard, in the Northern District of California. This consolidation was intended to facilitate a comprehensive settlement agreement. However, Fontenot's attorneys strongly opposed the move, and the case will now proceed separately in Colorado. This decision complicates the NCAA's efforts to resolve multiple antitrust cases under a single settlement framework, particularly those challenging NCAA compensation restrictions. It is not ideal for the NCAA as the case remains on a separate track.
