They are not seeking damages, but rather an injunction that would allow a free market for college athletes to get paid. The plaintiffs&#8217; argument is that these young athletes are bringing in so much revenue for their schools, but are not receiving any of it. In other words, Jenkins is suing the NCAA for exploiting athletes. One very important point that these plaintiffs made was that one of the vital reasons the NCAA is working to keep amateurism is because the amounts of money that they would have to hand over to a student who&#8217;s only 18, 19, 20 years old.
