Miller Moss Joins NCAA Settlement as New Class Representative

LOS ANGELES, California — Miller Moss, the starting quarterback for the Louisville Cardinals, is set to join the roster of class representatives in a significant NCAA lawsuit. This follows a recent motion from attorneys representing college athletes after lead plaintiffs Grant House and others graduated. Moss is tasked with ensuring that the injunctive relief settlement process remains beneficial to current student-athletes.

U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken approved a $2.8 billion settlement last June, indicating that new representatives could be added during the 10-year injunctive relief period. Moss’s inclusion marks the first addition since the ruling.

Currently pursuing a master’s degree in social entrepreneurship at Louisville, Moss expressed his commitment to the cause in a sworn declaration. “I have followed this case since shortly after it was filed on June 15, 2020,” Moss stated. “I recognize that I will not receive anything personally for serving as a Class Representative, but personal gain is not my motivation for seeking to serve.”

Moss’s stats this season are impressive; he has thrown for 1,929 yards, 11 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The Cardinals are currently ranked No. 14 in college football’s AP poll with a record of 7-1. Moss was also named a finalist for the prestigious Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award.

The university confirmed it will distribute the maximum $20.5 million allowed this year under the House settlement to various sports teams, including football and both men’s and women’s basketball. Specific allocations will be based on ranges rather than fixed amounts.

While Moss’s salary this season remains undisclosed, he is anticipated to earn significant revenue-share and NIL payments following his transfer from USC. At USC, he led the Trojans to a stunning opening-season victory against LSU but later lost the starting role when the team’s performance declined.

Moss, the son of notable architect Eric Owen Moss, has not publicly commented on the settlement case and did not respond to interview requests. However, during his time at USC, he faced scrutiny after a harassment claim was made by a former roommate, which he later addressed with a public apology.

With Moss now involved, his presence introduces a new dynamic to the class representation. He joins House, former TCU player Sedona Prince, and other former athletes who aim to protect the interests of student-athletes in the ongoing legal proceedings.
