The NCAA is facing several lawsuit in the near future. One that has not gotten as much attention as suits like the Ed O’Bannon suit, was filed in March. Former University of West Virginia running back Shawne Alston is claiming that the NCAA is violating anti-trust laws by capping the value of athletic scholarship at what he claims is far below the actual cost of attending most universities. Alston’s lawyers have released statements saying student-athletes should “no longer be treated as second-class citizens” and they shouldn’t have to “struggle to make ends meet while they are surrounded by multi-millionaire coaches.” Joining us to discuss the suit are Shawne Alston and Steve Berman, a partner at Berman, Sobol and Shaprio who is representing Alston.
