South MS school district sues sporting-goods giants. Here's what to know

The Hancock County School District filed a federal class-action lawsuit in October against Riddell Sports, Varsity Brands and other major athletic equipment retailers. The suit accuses the companies of running a yearslong price-fixing scheme that inflated costs for K-12 schools across Mississippi and Louisiana. FULL STORY: South MS school district files suit against major sporting-goods companies Here are key takeaways: The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Gulfport and names Riddell, Varsity Brands, BSN Sports, Hibbett Inc., Sports Center and Rex Team Sports. Attorneys describe the group as a “cartel” that coordinated bids from 2010 to 2023. Mississippi law requires school districts to seek bids on equipment and services costing between $5,000 and $75,000. The complaint alleges the companies manipulated that lowest-bidder process. Several sales professionals with Riddell, BSN Sports, Rex Team Sports and other companies have already pleaded guilty to federal charges tied to the bid-rigging scheme. Charles J. LaDuca, firm chairman at Cuneo Gilbert Flannery & LaDuca, said “every dollar overpaid for a helmet or a uniform is a dollar that didn’t go to students.” His firm is representing the district alongside Mississippi attorney Don Barrett. The district is seeking monetary damages equal to three times the

South MS school district files suit against major sporting-goods companies

The Hancock County School District filed a class-action lawsuit in October accusing major sports equipment manufacturers, including Riddell Sports and Varsity Brands, and other retailers of violating antitrust laws through an illegal bid-rigging and price-fixing scheme. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Gulfport, accuses the companies of working with other retailers, including BSN Sports, Hibbett Inc., Sports Center and Rex Team Sports, to form what attorneys described as a “cartel” that inflated the costs of athletic equipment and related services sold to K-12 schools in Mississippi and Louisiana. Mississippi law requires school districts to seek bids for equipment and services when costs are between $5,000 and $75,000. According to the lawsuit, from 2010 to 2023, participants in the alleged scheme coordinated their bids to manipulate the lowest-bidder selection process. The lawsuit identifies several sales professionals with Riddell, BSN Sports, Rex Team Sports and other companies who pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the bid-rigging scheme. “Mississippi families, educators and taxpayers trusted that the bidding process would get their schools a fair price, and the complaint lays out how that trust was exploited for years,” said Charles J.
