A nonprofit advocacy group, representing current and former college athletes, has opted to withdraw a complaint against the NCAA and others.
This decision follows changes in laws across multiple states and NCAA's impending rules allowing schools to pay athletes directly.
The National College Players Association argued that the evolving landscape requires time for the college sports industry to adjust.
Previously, a settlement promised a $20 million revenue-sharing pool for athletes, alongside opportunities for name, image, and likeness deals.
Another similar case from Dartmouth basketball players was also dropped recently to prevent an adverse ruling from the upcoming Republican-controlled labor board.
