Luke DeCock: Why House Settlement with NCAA, Now Final, Effectively Changes Nothing
- Last week, a federal court gave the green light to a $2.8 billion settlement that permits Division I schools to begin compensating their athletes directly starting July 1.
- The settlement ended three federal antitrust lawsuits challenging NCAA rules that restricted athletes from earning money, with some delays caused by concerns over scholarship and roster limits.
- As part of the settlement, a new entity separate from the NCAA will oversee NIL deals to ensure they stay within fair-market value amid potential Title IX issues.
- NCAA president Charlie Baker said the NIL clearinghouse's real value lies in tracking actual spending, while Jim Delany noted the Big Ten would have dropped to Division III if earlier lawsuits proceeded.
- Although the settlement marks a major change by ending outdated amateurism rules, experts expect ongoing adjustments and upheaval as college athletics adapts to openly paying athletes.
