U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken not only declined to grant preliminary approval, but she sent the two sides “back to the drawing board” and asked them to report back in three weeks with answers to her questions. “Last night’s hearing did not go as we hoped. The court posed worthwhile questions that the NCAA began working through immediately last night with our partners in the conferences,” Baker wrote in the letter obtained by AP.
