Quiver AI Summary
Congresswomen Deborah Ross and Lori Trahan, along with eight other Members of Congress, have urged the NCAA to clarify how the recent settlement in House v. NCAA addresses gender pay equity in sports. They expressed concern over the disproportionate financial benefits to men’s sports, particularly football and basketball, and emphasized the need for equitable distribution of payments to all athletes.

They highlighted the current allocation of damages that overwhelmingly favors male athletes, seeking assurance of more equitable practices in the future.
