A class action has been filed against the National Collegiate Athletic Association on behalf of student athletes who claim their scholarships were revoked under rules that violate federal antitrust laws.
The suit was filed on July 25 in federal court in Indianapolis, where the NCAA is headquartered. The case represents a second attempt by Steve Berman, managing partner of Seattle’s Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, to assert antitrust claims against the NCAA on behalf of student athletes. On June 18, in a similar case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit rejected Berman’s claims on the ground that he failed to assert a relevant market as required under the Sherman Act.
