House Settlement approved: order or more chaos?
It will be challenged and create challenges, but Friday night Judge Claudia Wilkin approved the House Settlement, which creates a new revenue-sharing model for college sports.
Past athletes from 2016-2024 can opt in to receive a portion of $2.8 billion over the next 10 years, while current athletes from the Power Five conferences will share 22% of athletic revenues, estimated to be about $20.3 million this year with 75% going to football.
Third-party NIL deals of more than $600 will be subject to review by the NIL-Go clearinghouse, run by the Deloitte accounting firm to ensure they represent "fair market value." This part of the settlement will be tested in court, as well as Title IX challenges, conflicts with state laws and the difficulty of enforcement.
