EA SPORTS/CLC Settlement Expected to be Finalized This Month

[cdj]

The EA Sports/CLC and NCAA lawsuit(s) continue to make their way through the legal system, however it appears that one major aspect will take place this month.

The NCAA's attempt to halt the EA SPORTS/CLC settlement was rejected by the Supreme Court (http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/Supreme-Court-rejects-NCAA-bid-to-halt-EA-Sports-settlement-011514) and the settlement is expected to be finalized this month (http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2014/01/ea_sportsclc_video-game_settle.html). That belief comes from an attorney drafting the document, although terms have yet to be filed to a federal court for preliminary approval. A motion hearing in the case will take place on January 22. The settlement will still need to be approved by a judge with a final hearing taking place to hear any objections.

The EA SPORTS/CLC settlement occurred with Ed O'Bannon and Keller plaintiffs and similar suits filed by former West Virginia football player Shawne Alston and Hart. The NCAA did not settle and has since sued co-defendants EA and CLC, alleging they failed to protect the NCAA in settlement talks.

Wow they didn't give the athletes much time to object to the settlement. usually its around 90 days after the mailing of notice for any class members to object in writing to the Court of the proposed terms. Not surprising SCOTUS rejected the appeal of the settlement as I cannot remember the last settlement issue the SCOTUS actually heard.
