So this is for golfers and tennis players to play in pro tournaments? I have no problem with that. Who else would be affected? Track and Field? Gymnastics?

on behalf of a proposed wider class.

How could they not include sports?

I don't see how the NCAA isn't on the losing end on this suit. Last year the NCAA passed/approved a measure that allows tennis players to earn up to 10K per year. That leaves us with the NCAA saying, "you can make money, but only so much."

I don't see how this isn't the NCAA violating the Sherman Act, again.
