Attorney says settlement being considered in NCAA antitrust case could withstand future challenges
- Thread starter Central Floridave
- Start date
The settlement being considered would have the NCAA paying about $2.9 billion in damages. Schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12 and Southeastern Conference would agree to commit about $300 million each over 10 years, most of which would be redirected to current athletes.
The settlement would create a revenue-sharing system that would allow — but not require — each school to share about 22% of athletics revenue per year with all athletes, with a possible cap of about $25 million — though that number would rise as revenue increased. The plan is similar to revenue sharing in professional sports leagues, though those athletes collectively bargain through a union.

Instead of doing things to make it progressively worse, how about they do improvements, like just become the NFL and install revenue caps, or revenue sharing between all schools. Too funny, like that would ever happen.
