In a nutshell players involved will receive likely at least $1,000 and some could get $6,700 or more depending on:

Per USA Today, athletes can receive money from “either or both settlements,” based on a number of factors.

-- The validated claims rates.

-- Whether a player's name appeared on a team roster.

-- Whether his assigned jersey number appeared on a virtual avatar.

-- Whether his photograph appeared in the game.

-- Which years he appeared in a game as an avatar and/or had his photograph used in the game.

-- The number of years in which a player was on a roster, appeared in the game as an avatar and/or had their photograph used in the game.

All this talk about players working for free, for the love of God! Will someone please think about the lawyers??!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of the combined $60 Million settlement,

the lawyers are seeking fees not to exceed $19 million and expenses not to exceed $3 million.

I'm glad the athletes will finally get something, but this is the thing about class action lawsuits that I find distasteful.
