The NCAA to ask an appeals court to block a lawsuit that seeks to have athletes treated as employees. The athletes are suing colleges, accusing them of violating fair labor practices by failing to pay athletes for the time they put into their sports.
They say the nation’s colleges are violating fair labor practices by failing to pay them for the time they put into their sports, which their attorney said can average more than 30 hours per week.
"It’s about the kids having walking-around money that their parents don’t have to give them, out of their own pockets, just like their fellow students working at the bookstore, the library or at the games," said McDonald, who filed the suit against the NCAA and member schools including Duke University, Villanova University and the University of Oregon.
That case stopped short of asking whether college athletes are employees entitled to direct pay but it's the crux of the issue before the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court panel on Wednesday. The National Collegiate Athletic Association will now permit athletes to be compensated for their names, images and likenesses, the NCAA Board of Governors said Tuesday.
