💨 Abstract

A federal judge approved a landmark change in college sports, allowing schools to pay athletes millions starting next month. This decision follows a lawsuit by Arizona State swimmer Grant House, challenging the NCAA's revenue-sharing restrictions. The settlement permits schools to share up to $20.5 million annually with athletes and allocates $2.7 billion over a decade to former players previously excluded from revenue. Concerns remain about the impact on walk-on athletes.
