NCAA Claim Settlement is an independent third party, unrelated to the NCAA or any college or university. We purchase college athletes’ claims in the In re: College Athlete NIL Litigation and the Hubbard v. National Collegiate Athletic Association litigations. We offer cash today in lieu of the ten year payout provided in the NCAA settlement agreement, and we protect you against settlement failure and other contingencies that could result in non-payment.
To provide the most user friendly and transparent marketplace to monetize your claims.
1. You should consult an attorney or guardian before signing any contract regarding your settlement claim.
2. Allocation estimates that have been provided to athletes have already accounted for and deducted the amount of attorneys’ fees that Class Counsel requested from the Court.
3. I may receive compensation from facilitating the sale of your claim.
4. The Buyer is purchasing your claim to generate a profit and their goal is to buy your claim for less than they ultimately recover from the litigation.
5. I am an independent third party not affiliated with the NCAA or the U.S. Court system
- You should seek advice from a registered tax preparer or competent tax advisor about your tax obligations for any payments that you are entitled to receive under the Settlement. However, the Court overseeing the Settlement has directed us to provide the following disclosure:
THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ANY AGREEMENT YOU SIGN REGARDING YOUR CLAIM MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFIC TERMS OF THAT AGREEMENT. WITH CERTAIN TRANSACTION STRUCTURES, YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY INCOME TAXES ON THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE PAYMENTS THAT YOU ARE ENTITLED TO UNDER THE SETTLEMENT (EVEN IF THE RESULTING TAX LIABILITY EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT YOU RECEIVED UNDER THE AGREEMENT). A TRANSACTION STRUCTURED AS AN OUTRIGHT OR “TRUE” SALE MAY REMOVE FUTURE SETTLEMENT PAYMENTS FROM YOUR GROSS INCOME FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX PURPOSES, IN WHICH CASE YOU WOULD INSTEAD LIKELY PAY TAX ON THE PURCHASE PRICE YOU RECEIVE. AS A RESULT OF A SALE, YOU WOULD ALSO BE FORFEITING ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL INCOME OR FUTURE PAYMENTS UNDER THE FOURTH AMENDED STIPULATION AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, IN RE: COLLEGE ATHLETE NIL LITIGATION, NO. 4:20-CV-03919 (THE “SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT”). YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH A COMPETENT TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR PARTICULAR AGREEMENT BEFORE SIGNING THE AGREEMENT.

Cons of selling your claim
- Getting Less: Buyers are offering less than the full amount of your allocation estimate, generally substantially less. Selling now potentially means you lose out on that money if/when it is paid later
- Losing Control: Depending on the agreement you sign, you may give up your rights to participate in the lawsuit or have any governance on your claim moving forward
Pros of selling your claim
- Immediate access to cash: You receive payment now, not next year or later, which is appealing if you need funds quickly or want to defer risk
- Simplicity and convenience: Generally, a third-party handles certain administrative functions and its their responsibility to follow the case at that point as they own your claim, saving you time and effort
- Protection from fund-distribution delays: If payments from the settlement are postponed, for example due to appeals, selling gives certainty of value now
