OAKES, Circuit Judge: This is an appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Robert L. Carter, Judge, approving under Fed.R.Civ.P. 23(e) a settlement of an antitrust class action brought against the professional basketball league known as the National Basketball Association (NBA) and its constituent teams by a class consisting of the 479 individuals who played in t

GIBBONS, Circuit Judge, concurring. I concur in the decision to reverse the judgment of the district court, but I would decide this case based on the plaintiffs’ failure to establish that they have suffered an antitrust injury. Antitrust standing is a threshold matter that should be addressed before proceeding to other issues presented by an antitrust claim. In Hy-Point Technology, Inc. v. Hewlett-Packar

NEWMAN, Circuit Judge: This appeal presents some novel questions concerning the relationship between private and judicial decision-making. The questions arise in the context of a dispute concerning the amount of compensation that a professional basketball team should pay to another team when signing a player who has completed his contract with that other team. Our primary problem is to determine the appropriate roles of the Co

EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge. In the six years since they filed this antitrust suit, the Chicago Bulls have won four National Basketball Association titles and an equal number of legal victories. Suit and titles are connected. The Bulls want to broadcast more of their games over WGN television, a “superstation” carried on cable systems nationwide. The Bulls’ popularity makes WGN attractive to these cable systems; the large audie

N0. 01-14-01004-CV IN THE FILED IN 1st COURT OF APPEALS FIRST COURT OF APPEAL HOUSTON, TEXAS AT HOUSTON 10/22/2015 4:44:20 PM CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE ___________________________ Clerk Kevin CAMPBELL,

EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge. WGN-TV, channel 9 in Chicago, is called a superstation because cable systems throughout the nation carry its signal. During the 1990-91 season WGN telecast 25 games of the Chicago Bulls, one of 27 teams in the National Basketball Association. During the 1991-92 season WGN will telecast 30 of the Bulls’ regular-season games. This is a boon to fans, for, apart from the seven contests broadcast on network TV

SOTOMAYOR, Circuit Judge. Defendant-appellant National Football League (“NFL” or “the League”) appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Scheindlin, J.) ordering plaintiff-appellee Maurice Clarett (“Clarett”) eligible to enter this year’s NFL draft on the ground that the NFL’s eligibility rules requiring Clarett to wait at lea

POSNER, Circuit Judge. The University of the District of Columbia is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and as such subject to its rules. A violation of an NCAA rule can impose heavy costs should it result in the imposition of sanctions on the violator. Typical sanctions, such as banning the violator from postseason competition or re-

JOHNSON, Judge, dissenting: I believe that the orders from which appeal is taken are interlocutory and not properly appealable. Accordingly, I dissent and would quash this appeal. One of the orders from which appeal is taken denies a motion for summary judgment. As Judge Montemuro has noted, the law is clear that such an order is interlocutory and unappealable. Cathcart v.

FLAUM, Circuit Judge, concurring in part and dissenting in part. This is a “rule of reason” case brought under § 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, National Collegiate Athletic Ass’n v. Board of Regents, 468 U.S. 85, 104 S.Ct. 2948, 82 L.Ed.2d 70 (1984), and as such the panel correctly states that Braxton Banks must allege that the NCAA rules at issue harm competition
