Oh. My. Gosh! 🤯 Yesterday was nothing short of incredible. The court received exceptional follow-up objections and declarations from key figures, shaking the foundation of the proposed settlement. 🏛️⚖️
Top legal teams—including MoloLamken, Buchalter, and renowned class action attorney Laura Reathaford—submitted powerful briefs that exposed major legal holes. 🕳️💥 The evidence presented? Devastating. The damage already caused was laid bare, and it is heartbreaking. 💔

🚨 563 Athletes Cut… And Counting
While Kessler & Co. tried to downplay the number of impacted athletes in their filings, we now have real data proving otherwise. A detailed survey conducted by the Instagram account @roster_limit_objections uncovered 563 athletes who have already been cut or told they will be. 😱 Five. Hundred. Sixty-Three. This is NOT an approved settlement—yet the damage is already happening!
🔥 Fear & Retaliation Among Athletes
A Liberty University swimmer explicitly stated she believes she was cut because she submitted an objection. 🤯 This confirms what many feared: Athletes were either unaware they could object or were too scared of retaliation to do so. This is a massive failure of the system. 🚨
🏊♂️ Legendary Coach Eddie Reese Speaks Out
University of Texas swimming legend Eddie Reese submitted a masterful brief detailing the catastrophic consequences of this settlement. He warns that D1 swimming could lose ~65% of its teams within five years if this goes through as written. Sixty-five percent! 😨
This Isn’t Just About "Fringe" Athletes—It’s EVERYONE
This is not just impacting athletes who are supposedly "not good enough." The fallout is affecting every level of college athletics. And finally, the truth is coming out. 📢
I have so much hope that this settlement will either fail or be fixed—at the very least, roster limits must be removed. I hope Kessler, Berman, House, & the NCAA finally understand the pain they’ve caused and take real action to fix it.
💪 Keep fighting! 🚀 #SaveCollegeSports #FairnessForAthletes #StandUpAndFight
