After some confusion, attorneys in the NCAA v. House case are expected to file a revision to the settlement that will grant schools the ability to grandfather in roster limits.
The revision, which is expected to be filed on Wednesday night, comes after Judge Claudia Wilken delayed final approval of the case over roster limits, calling on attorneys to add a grandfathering clause to roster limits “so that members of the Injunctive Relief Settlement Class will not be harmed by the immediate implementation of the roster limits provision.”
Initially, an Associated Press report seemed to indicate that roster spots would be found for only those who individually objected to the case, though that was cleared up on Tuesday by CBS Sports‘ Brandon Marcello.
Some confusion over roster limits in AP story. I reached out to Steve Berman for clarity on if deal pertains only to objectors.”
“No, it covers all who are designated student athletes – anyone who lost a roster spot, not just objectors. The chart is just to show how it works” t.co/Gc3m0xXy1D

It was later reported on Tuesday that House v. NCAA plaintiffs had requested grandfather protection for all athletes who lost spots because of roster limits. This will act as a safeguard for current student-athletes, allowing them to continue to operate under the old set of rules (with larger rosters) while they finish out their career.
Grandfathering in the roster limits will be an option for schools, Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger reports, noting that it will also permit athletes who leave their current school to keep their grandfather status at their new school.
Judge Wilken gave attorneys a May 7 deadline to submit a revision to the settlement addressing the roster limit situation, and the filing is expected tonight.
Once that is filed, the door is open for Judge Wilken to approve the settlement. At the final approval hearing in April, roster limits were the main sticking point for Wilken. She found no issue with the $20.5 million schools will be able to pay their athletes in NIL money and the $2.8 billion in back pay damages former athletes will receive.
