Class Action Lawsuit Against the NCAA on Behalf of Division I Volunteer Coaches
Legal Notice
Did You Work as a Volunteer Coach in an NCAA Division I Athletics Program in a Sport Other Than Baseball Between March 17, 2019 and June 30, 2023?
You Could Be Part of a Class Action Lawsuit.
Records show you could be affected by a class action lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletic Association ('NCAA'). The Court decided that this lawsuit should be a class action on behalf of a 'Class,' or group of people, that could include you. The Court has not decided who is right. There is no money available now and no guarantee there will be.
What is this case about?
The lawsuit claims that certain NCAA rules that prohibited schools from paying wages, salaries, or benefits to Division I athletics coaches in sports other than baseball who were designated as 'volunteer coaches' were anticompetitive.
NCAA denies these claims and that it did anything wrong. The lawyers for the Class will have to prove their claims in Court.
Are you included?
You may be included in the lawsuit if you worked as a 'volunteer coach' for any NCAA Division I sports program other than baseball, any time between March 17, 2019 to June 30, 2023.
Who represents the Class?
The Court has appointed a group of attorneys to represent the Class as 'Co-Lead Counsel.' You don't have to pay Co-lead Counsel or anyone else to participate. Instead, if Co-Lead Counsel get money or benefits for the Class, they will ask the Court for attorneys' fees and costs. Any fees and costs would be deducted from any money obtained or paid separately by the NCAA. You may hire your own lawyer to appear in Court for you, but if you do, you have to pay that lawyer.
What are your options?
To stay in the Class, you do not have to do anything. If money or benefits are obtained, you will be notified about how to ask for a share. If you want to keep your rights to sue the NCAA on your own about the claims in this lawsuit, you need to exclude yourself. If you exclude yourself, you cannot get money or benefits from this lawsuit if any are awarded. You can find out how to exclude yourself at the website or by calling the toll-free number. The deadline to exclude yourself is October 1, 2025.

Faraday Future Founder and Co-CEO YT Jia Shares Weekly Investor Update: Company to Announce Major Breakthrough of Its Bridge Strategy on August 16 in Pebble Beach
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) ('Faraday Future', 'FF' or the 'Company'), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today shared a weekly business update from YT Jia, Founder and Co-CEO of FF. 'This is our 14th weekly update, and also the third monthly edition. This week, we witnessed a turning point in the global economy. Following the U.S. Congress passing its first federal crypto legislation—the 'Genius Act'—the SEC also launched a major new initiative called Project Crypto. In my opinion, this marks a significant acceleration of blockchain integration into the U.S. financial system. It signals that the U.S. is building the next generation of Web3 infrastructure, driving a full-scale convergence between Web2 and Web3. More importantly, it represents a major shift in the global landscape of technology and finance, and the beginning of the next wave of innovation. Today also marks my 100th day as Co-CEO. Before we get into the results of our '100-Day Renewal,' I'd like to give you a preview of something even more important, a major strategic upgrade: On August 16th, at Pebble Beach, we'll officially unveil and kick off the second chapter of our Bridge Strategy. This will not only be a major milestone in the evolution of our Bridge Strategy — and we expect that it will also open up a new growth curve for FF. In addition, our upcoming Q2 earnings call will mark the first time since listing that we present our five-year performance outlook. This reflects our strong confidence in the future and signals that FF has reached a new stage in both governance and operations. Over the past 100 days, we've rolled out an unprecedented 'Ten-Punch Combo' transformations, delivering a full-scale refreshment from S1 to S7. Both our business fundamentals and capital fundamentals have taken a major leap forward. This lays a solid foundation and confidence for our next round of strategic upgrades. When I took office, I set out three main goals — in business, finance, and capital. By now, most of their milestone KPIs for Q3 have not only been met but exceeded. Key results include: First, we fully reshaped the corporate culture, the iron-willed combat strength has returned. The Lion-Wolf culture and fearless execution is emerging across the company. This spirit was powerfully demonstrated in the June 29th and July 17th product launches. Second, we successfully unveiled the FX Super One against the stunning backdrop of the Los Angeles skyline. As a First-Class EAI-MPV, this revolutionary product once again led transformation and ignited the industry, driving dual accumulation of both user equity and brand equity. With over 10,000 pre-orders received, we've fully explored the viability and competitive edge of the Co-Creation Ecosystem Online Direct Sales Model — a three-engine approach driven by user acquisition, user co-creation, and user operations. Today, we also launched the global co-creation campaign 'Design Its Face. Define Its Soul,' inviting you to upload your creative designs for the Super EAI F.A.C.E. avatar, and to join us in co-creating both the product and the technology — to build your very own EAI Avatar. We warmly welcome your participation! Third, FX Super One has officially entered the trial production phase at our Hanford, California factory. We're now deep into process planning and validation — defining manufacturing processes and quality standards, while ramping up training for engineers and production teams. Meanwhile, construction at our Ras Al Khaimah facility in the UAE is picking up speed, positioning us to begin regional deliveries in the Middle East by year-end. Fourth, the FF and FX Bridge Strategy, bridging the U.S. and China automotive industries, has advanced from Girder Erection to Bridge Closure. We've received strong support from top-tier Chinese manufacturers and engaged with influential stakeholders within the U.S. government. This includes closed-door meetings with more than a dozen members of Congress as well as a mention by Donald Trump Jr on a Podcast. We believe the policy climate will continue to shift in our favor. Fifth, our cash flow has improved significantly. Core operating expenses have been meaningfully reduced, while our financial processes and system management have seen major upgrades. These advances will be clearly reflected in our upcoming Q2 earnings report. Sixth, our capital fundamentals have undergone a transformational shift, reigniting market confidence. Our market cap has nearly tripled, we've been added to the Russell 3000 Index, and institutional investors — including BlackRock and Vanguard — have increased their positions substantially. Our 'Battle Against Illegal Short Selling' has delivered initial success. This reflects our firm commitment to putting 'Stockholders First.' In parallel, our strategic partnership with HabitTrade marks the first step in building a forward-looking ecosystem that brings together EAI Mobility, Web3, blockchain technology, crypto, and stablecoins. These first 100 days are not the finish line — they're the launchpad. But they've shown us one undeniable truth: with the right direction, unwavering conviction, and all-out execution, we can rebuild trust and redefine value. To every investor, user, supplier, and partner who has backed FF, FX, and myself throughout this comeback — thank you. Your belief has been the light guiding us through the headwinds. And in every 100 days ahead, we'll move faster, deliver with greater substance, and deepen our co-creation — to honor the trust of our users, shareholders, and every fighter in the FF family.'

West Virginia's running back room is thin, rebounding after rough second practice
MORGANTOWN – West Virginia's second practice wasn't the best. Rich Rodriguez wasn't happy because the team didn't take any steps forward, and more importantly, the team was soft. A position he pointed out was the running backs. Rodriguez said only two of his four running backs made it to the end of the second practice without 'tapping out,' or going to trainers for injuries. 'I told those two, that's pretty good,' Rodriguez said. 'Not going to tell you who they are. But you know, there are still 4,000 kids in the portal… I can play a game without running backs. I got running backs here. I got a good group. We finished with two, so you think I'm not going to talk to my recruiting staff this afternoon? We're running a business.' The running back position might be the most important in Rodriguez's offense. Rodriguez loves to run the football. Last year at Jacksonville State, the Gamecocks rushed the ball 646 times, ranking third in the NCAA, behind military academies, Army and Air Force. Having just two backs won't get West Virginia through the season, and Rodriguez thinks they might need to add some more. There are more backs listed on the roster, seven to be exact and transfer back Tye Edwards is still dealing with NCAA waiver issues. Right now, Rodriguez named four backs who are practicing after practice No. 4 'Jahiem, Hubbard, Clay Ash, Kannon, right?' Rodriguez said. 'I think those are just the four. Numbers are a little bit less. We may add a guy or two there. Because we got to have more guys at running back. But they've done a good job. Larry's an experienced coach, picked up our system really well… It's a pretty good group.' Since Rodriguez called the backs out in practice No. 2, they've improved, which is a good sign because of how important they are to Rodriguez's offense. They're still learnin, though. Luckily, Rodriguez's running backs have one of the best running backs coaches in the nation to learn from, Larry Porter. Porter came over from North Carolina and recently produced first-round running back talent Omarion Hampton, who was the second running back selected in the 2025 NFL Draft behind Ashton Jeanty with the 22nd overall pick. Through the first four practices, Porter is doing a lot of installing and teaching the backs their role in Rodriguez's offense. 'I feel like it's my job to teach them what to do and how to do it, and also the expectations that we have as a team as we try to build this culture,' Porter said. 'But overall, that's kind of where it is, building a foundation of the standard that we need to be successful throughout the course of a season.' Porter does have some experience in the room. WVU leading rusher Jahiem White highlights the room after being named to the first team preseason All-Big 12 in early July. Porter said White has a 'good' skill set, but still has some to learn. 'I think he's an elite processor from the standpoint of being able just to navigate space in front of him,' Porter said. 'But I think that he has a lot of room to grow in every area, and he's learning how to push himself, and we're trying to get him to that point. But he has a lot of room to grow. I think he's just scratching the surface of what he can ultimately become. But again, it's that standard, and it's our job or my job to take him where he can't take himself, and that's kind of what we were working through right now.' It seemed like White had the starting job secured, but Rodriguez made it known that every position is up for grabs, even White's job. Right now, the other three fighting for the spot are Ferris State transfer redshirt junior Kannon Katzer, sophomore Clay Ash and redshirt freshman Diore Hubbard. Then, there are players, like Edwards, who have to work by themselves because the waivers haven't been accepted yet. Rodriguez said that's out of his hands. 'We have Kannon, who has come in and is really working hard,' Porter said. 'Hubbard, who was here last year that we think that has a tremendous amount of talent, but he's still working there, trying to find himself as we work into fall camp. Then you have Clay Ash, who's a steady hand, always worked hard that we're very happy to have.' It might've been a rough second practice, but they are slowly improving each day, and are all fighting for a starting spot in Rodriguez's offense. Like the quarterbacks, Rodriguez will play as many running backs as there are players he 'can win with.' He's still trying to find who those players are. 'Get to that point where we got to play you because you're good enough to win with,' Rodriguez said. 'I'm hoping there's more than two at every position. I don't know if we'll be that. Right now, for the next couple of weeks everyone is getting reps, and it'll be quality reps, and they are going to get a really good chance to show if they've learned, and if they can help us win or not.'

UK lenders face $12 bn plus compensation bill despite court ruling: watchdog
British finance firms behind high interest car loans could have to pay out more than nine billion pounds ($12 billion) in compensation despite the country's highest court ruling that most of the controversial deals were lawful, a financial watchdog said Sunday. The Supreme Court on Friday partially overturned judgments that the loans were unlawful, giving relief to banks which had been bracing for compensation claims from millions of car-buyers. It did, however, uphold one of the three cases, which allows the claimant to seek compensation. And in a similar but separate probe, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said that the cost of any redress scheme relating to discretionary commission arrangements for car loans would likely be higher than £9 billion. "While there are plausible scenarios which underpin estimates of a total cost as high as £18 billion, we do not consider those scenarios to be the most likely and analyst estimates in the midpoint of this range are more plausible," the FCA said in a statement. The FCA estimates that most individuals will probably receive less than £950 in compensation. The court ruling had given the FCA "clarity... because we have been looking at what is unfair and, prior to this judgment, there were different interpretations of the law coming from different courts," it said. "It is clear that some firms have broken the law and our rules. It's fair for their customers to be compensated," said Nikhil Rathi, chief executive of the FCA. The Supreme Court decision mostly overturned Court of Appeal rulings last year that it was unlawful for car dealers to receive a commission on loans without sufficiently informing borrowers. In some cases, the loans -- available from 2007 -- allowed car dealers to offer higher interest rates in return for a bigger commission from banks. The ruling means that dealers have some leeway when arranging loans, without requiring explicit consent from borrowers for terms that may benefit lenders. The case that was upheld involved Marcus Johnson, who in 2017 bought a Suzuki Swift from a car dealer in Cardiff for £6,500 including loan costs -- unaware that interest on the loan amount would fund a commission of more than £1,600. When the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Johnson, ordering FirstRand Bank, a South African based lender, to refund the commission plus interest, it sparked panic across the finance sector. That ruling was upheld by the top court due to the high level of commission Johnson was charged and the complexity of the contract setting out the fee, which limits the scope of other compensation claims. HSBC bank analysts had suggested before the trial that the total cost to the banking sector could have reached £44 billion. jwp/tw/gv Error while retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data
