Why is my school included or not included as a COA School?
Plaintiffs’ evidence showed that some schools (but not necessarily all) would have more likely than not provided athletically related financial aid above GIA during the class period if allowed to do so. As a result, and as part of the Settlement, Class Members are eligible for distribution who attended schools that provide, have provided, or have indicated by or before June 1, 2017 an intent to start providing any portion of the gap between the amount of GIA allowed prior to August 1, 2015 and full COA to at least one Class Member at that school. For other schools, where the evidence indicated it was not more likely than not the schools would have provided athletically related financial aid above GIA, Class Members who attended those schools will not be eligible for distribution. The evidence included Plaintiffs’ statistical model as well as whether there was evidence the school had provided athletically related financial aid above GIA when allowed to do so or stated a specific commitment to do so in the future.
