A former Villanova has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA over minimum wage violations. The filing comes a week after the NCAA announced that it will allow players to receive profits from their name, likeness, and image. The main argument of the lawsuit is that student-athletes are similar to student employees, and should be paid wages. The case denotes a trend of increasing conflict between NCAA and student-athletes over whether student athletes can be considered employees.
