INDIANAPOLIS - A former Bright resident is at the center of a big change to the way college athletes will get paid.
It has been almost five years since Grant House and Sedona Prince filed a class action lawsuit against the NCAA and five collegiate athletic conference
House is a former swimmer at Arizona State University, while Prince played basketball at TCU.
Together, they sought name, image, and likeness damages and an injunction to force the NCAA and affiliated athletic conferences to lift restrictions on revenue sharing from broadcast rights.
On May 23, 2024, the NCAA voted to settle the lawsuit for $2.75 billion, agreeing to a revenue-sharing model allowing member institutions to distribute funds up to $20 million to Division I athletes who have played since 2016
Last week, a federal judge approved the settlement paving the way for colleges to pay athletes.
