November 10, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- A class action lawsuit is pending against the National Collegiate Athletic Association ("NCAA") which claims certain NCAA rules restrict the eligibility of individuals who have accepted prize money greater than certain specified amounts from competing in Division I tennis (the "Prize Money Rules") which violate U.S. antitrust laws. NCAA denies these claims. The Court has not made any determination as to who is right or whether NCAA did anything wrong but has decided that the Class Claims should proceed as a class action on behalf of two classes, the Injunctive Relief Class and the Damages Class, that could include you.

If you're included in the Damages Class, you have to decide whether to (1) stay in the Class and be bound by the results of the case as to the Class Claims or (2) ask to be excluded from the Damages Class and keep your right to separately pursue these damages claims against NCAA. There is no need to do anything if you are a member of the Injunctive Relief Class. If you are not a Class Member, you do not need to take any action.

A more detailed Long-Form Notice, including the exact Class definitions as well as documents filed with the Court, and important updates of the litigation, is available at www.NCAAtennisprizemoneyclassaction.com.
