US EditionNCAA, college sports cleared for revenue sharing with athletes after settlement approved
- U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken approved the $2.8 billion House v. NCAA settlement after nearly five years of litigation on June 6, 2025.

- This landmark settlement ends the NCAA’s 119-year amateurism model, reshapes college sports economics, but may lead to further legal disputes and challenges around athlete compensation.
