Livvy Dunne Objects Back-Pay Distribution in House Settlement

Dunne objected to the back-pay distribution in the settlement. Right now, about 90% of the 2.8 billion dollars being paid out to former college athletes are going to men, according to Ross Dellenger, and she feels she and other female athletes deserve more than they're expected to receive.

Dellenger also reported that Dunne stated her back-pay projection was much lower than her actual NIL earnings. Dunne went on to state that the model used to determine each athlete's value is outdated and they deserve to be compensated better.

"This settlement uses old logic to calculate modern value," said Dunne. "I ask the settlement not to be approved as it stands. We deserve more than an estimate. We deserve to be compensated at the value we deserve."

Dunne also said she hasn't heard anything back since submitting more accurate data on her NIL earnings, so she doesn't know if that has been taken into account when calculating her value.

Brandon Marcello with CBS Sports reported that Jude Wilken didn't seem bothered when confronted about these worries. She told two athletes, including Dunne, to contact the back payments administrator about their issues when the settlement is approved. 

The settlement has already been preliminarily approved by Judge Wilkins. It's unclear whether or not she'll give final approval on the settlement today or not.
