US EditionNon-scholarship athletes argue proposal to fix roster-limit rule in lawsuit does not go far enough
- Following the Thanksgiving break in 2024, sophomore distance runner Jake Rimmel was among five non-scholarship athletes who were removed from the Virginia Tech cross country roster, a decision linked to the upcoming NCAA settlement changes.
- The cuts relate to the $2.8 billion House settlement awaiting federal approval that would allow schools to share NIL revenue but replaces scholarship caps with roster limits.
- Athletes like Rimmel and Belmont’s Sabrina Ootsburg report limited education on the settlement, difficulty staying updated, and uncertainty about their future in college sports.
- Judge Claudia Wilken urged attorneys involved in the settlement to develop a plan that safeguards athletes currently or recently listed on team rosters, highlighting that while the changes may create lasting financial benefits for certain individuals, they could also limit playing opportunities for others.
- Thousands of athletes, including walk-ons and non-revenue sport players, face jeopardy of losing collegiate playing time as the settlement’s final form and impact remain uncertain.
