OT EA/NCAA settlement

[trickey]

Sam Keller gets near $200,000 as a participant. Shocking that many players failed to file.

Here is a quote on the general player participation rate and settlement:

"There were 111,174 real football roster players and 21,309 real basketball roster players who matched virtual avatars in the video games. At a 25 percent claims rate, a player with a single avatar match would receive $1,893 per year and a roster appearance would grant $183 per year."

I got one of those letters in the mail from the NCAA. Didn't feel the need to deal with it. Don't think I would have gotten money anyway

Apex of Sam's football career. I wonder if he got his degree from NU or ASU? I'm guessing ASU since he now lives there. I also wonder if he gets to keep the full $200,000 which would be nice if taxes don't take too big a chunk. I once got $1.87 back on a class action suit because of some stupid glasses that made me go cross eyed.

Sam Keller gets $200K, and the lawyers get $22MM?

 

Yeah, the NCAA is the one screwing you guys

Also, looks like Mr. Keller earned a degree in Poli Sci from UNL:

Visit Tempe while school is in session and you'll know why he lives there...

 

Keller:  Do you remember my mediocre football career?

Random ASU Coed:  I'm far too drunk to remember anything right now...

Keller:  Giggity giggity goo!

I've been (involuntarily) included in a couple of 'class-action' lawsuits. In each case the attorneys got $millions!

I got coupons!
