Lawyers for a sports group want to change a rule. The rule is about how many players can be on a team. They want to let players who lost their place play again. These players will not count against the new number.

The lawyers said schools should make lists of students who did not get to play.

These students can try to play for the team again or go to other schools.

These athletes will not be part of the new team rules.

This plan helps young players. If a college said they could play but then said no, they can still play. They can play in college for many years.

Wilken said yes to the main parts of the plan. This plan lets schools give money to their sports players, up to $20.5 million every year. It also gives more than $2.7 billion to players from before. These players said the NCAA stopped them from making money using their name and picture.

The new idea came after two weeks. A judge told the teams to talk again. He said the plan about player numbers was not good.

The plan will change how many players can play.

Wilken felt sad for the players who lost their places.

He said they must change it, or the plan would not work.

The lawyers for the people who sued said they did a better job. They let schools ask players they cut to come back. This did not use up a spot for a player. New schools could also do this.

They think the changes in the agreement are too big.

The lawyers said maybe the athletes cannot play on the team again.

The schools can still pick their players. This rule is not new. The new rules do not change this. If players lost their place because of the new rules, they will get their place back. The new rules do not apply to them.

The judge will give people who don't like the plan a short time to say why before she decides.

The NCAA and schools have many athletes. They need to make a decision soon. Football practice starts in a short time.
