The latest are on behalf of former players from Texas A&M, UCLA, Maryland, Richmond, Idaho, South Carolina, Mississippi, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, Alabama and Iowa.
Earlier this week, former players from Memphis, Ball State, Rutgers, Eastern Michigan and Florida A&M filed lawsuits.
