Several professional players, angry that their earning-power was crimped during some of their most productive years, have brought a series of lawsuits. The suits have been combined into a class action against the association, in the name of Ed O’Bannon, a former college-basketball star (pictured). This accuses the NCAA of breaking antitrust law. In the latest hearing, on July 19th, six current players from college-football teams joined the case.
