As the NCAA moves toward a $2.8 billion settlement that could resolve three antitrust lawsuits — with the Big Ten the latest conference to give its approval — it is uncertain whether a fourth case will also be part of the agreement. Attorneys in Fontenot vs. the NCAA said Wednesday they would like their case to the stay in federal court in Colorado instead of being moved to California and combined with another antitrust lawsuit involving college sports. They said they won’t know whether their claims would be covered by the settlement until they have all the details of the proposal.
