A potentially watershed moment for the most elite college tennis players who have to sacrifice pro prize money.
Brantmeier’s teammate, Fiona Crawley, made news at least year’s US Open when she spoke out about being unable to take her prize money after qualifying.
We have a new antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA...
This one, filed by lead plaintiff and UNC tennis player Reese Brantmeier (on behalf of a proposed wider class), challenges the NCAA's prohibition on college athletes playing in outside competitions with prize money.
