US EditionNCAA’s Baker: Will Congress Back $2.8B Settlement with Antitrust Protection?
- A federal judge approved on Friday the House v. NCAA settlement that allows schools to pay athletes directly, changing college sports permanently.
- The settlement began as a 2020 class action involving about 14,000 athletes seeking damages for past earning restrictions and was shaped by a 2021 Supreme Court ruling against the NCAA.
- Schools can now spend up to $20.5 million annually per institution to compensate athletes starting July 1, with a new College Sports Commission overseeing NIL transactions to prevent pay-for-play.
- Blake Lawrence explained that athletic directors must decide how to allocate $20 million among hundreds of athletes, noting this will "change the industry as we know it," while some programs face financial challenges.
- This settlement is expected to reshape funding priorities in college sports, raise questions about non-revenue sports’ future, and could prompt further litigation and shifts in program economics.
