An appeal of the NCAA 's landmark antitrust settlement won't stop college teams from paying current athletes starting July 1 .

Several college athletes filed the appeal Wednesday , claiming the deal violates Title IX law.

The roughly $2.8 billion in negotiated back damages will sit while the appeal works through the system.

The overwhelming majority of the money will go to football and men's basketball players.
