Power Leagues Look to Bind Schools to Rules of $2.8 Billion NCAA Settlement, AP Source Says
- Representatives from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC circulated a draft agreement in May 2025 aimed at binding member institutions to an enforcement framework associated with the $2.8 billion NCAA antitrust settlement.
- The agreement aims to prevent schools from using state laws, like a recent Tennessee statute, to circumvent enforcement rules related to athlete compensation and the new NIL clearinghouse.
- The draft requires member schools to waive legal challenges against the College Sports Commission, offers arbitration instead, and risks penalties or league expulsion for refusal to sign.
- Senior reporter Ross Dellenger reported that the document would require schools to adhere to the enforcement rules despite any conflicting state legislation and would protect the commission from lawsuits by member institutions, although legal experts remain skeptical about whether such provisions can be effectively upheld.
- If approved by Judge Claudia Wilken, signing the agreement could reshape college sports by enforcing a professionalized, capped revenue-sharing model with stricter rules and oversight.
