The preliminary hearing in the House, Hubbard and Carter antitrust cases is about to get going. Story from June on the long form of the settlement and what's being discussed today: sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/…

Short version on tonight's proceedings: NCAA is standing pat on boosters and third-party NIL. Wilken doesn't like the language around that. Parties have up to three weeks to figure out their issues and work through the terms or, eventually, a trial date could be set.
