A U.S. district judge has approved a $2.8 billion settlement in the U.S. House vs. NCAA case in a deal that will reshape the landscape of college athletics.
The 2.8 billion is back pay for athletes who missed out on NIL opportunities when they competed between 2016 and 2024.
I talked about several aspects of the deal with SIU director of athletics Tim Leonard…starting with how much of the $2.8 billion his department will be required to pay.
