- Last week, a judge gave the green light to a $2.8 billion antitrust settlement involving the NCAA, major conferences, and Division I athletes, enabling schools to begin making direct payments to athletes starting July 1.

- Although the House settlement marks a new era for college athletics, critics say real change is gradual, with more upheaval expected as the system adjusts and collective bargaining possible.
