The court’s exact words
Damages Class: All persons who, at any time between March 19, 2020 and November 21, 2025 (the date of initial distribution of Class Notice in this matter), have voluntarily forfeited Prize Money earned in a tennis tournament, and (i) have competed in NCAA Division I Tennis, or (ii) have submitted information to the NCAA Eligibility Center (the “Damages Class”).
Quoted from the official notice. Read the notice for the full definition.
Our notes: Two classes were certified. Only the Damages Class gets money: all persons who, at any time between March 19, 2020 and November 21, 2025, voluntarily forfeited prize money earned in a tennis tournament and either competed in NCAA Division I tennis or submitted information to the NCAA Eligibility Center. The Injunctive Relief Class (everyone who, between March 19, 2020 and the date of judgment, competed in NCAA Division I tennis or was ineligible because of the Prize Money Rules) gets NCAA rule changes letting athletes accept prize money before full-time college enrollment; it cannot opt out and files no claim. Damages Class members who asked to be excluded (deadline September 28, 2026) are left out. 'Prize Money' means a monetary prize for place finish or performance in a non-NCAA tennis competition. The class is not limited to U.S. residents. This is an antitrust class action brought by athletes, not an employment case.
