💨 Abstract

The article discusses a landmark settlement approved by a U.S. District Judge that permanently changes college sports in the United States. The settlement resolves three antitrust cases against the NCAA and major conferences, allowing athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL). The NCAA will pay $2.8 billion in back damages to football and basketball players, with future direct payments to all Division I athletes.
