A federal judged has denied the first objection to a $2.77 billion settlement of antitrust lawuits facing the NCAA and five power conferences, ruling against Houston Christian University's motion to intervene. The small private school that has been a member of NCAA's Division I since 2013 was the first —- and so far only — school to object to the settlement agreement that was announced in May. The full-term sheet of the settlement is expected to be filed with the U.S. District Court in Northern California by Friday, an attorney for the plaintiffs' told AP earlier this week.
