ESPN article on approaching settlement
From the article:
“The NCAA has agreed to pay $2.8 billion dollars in damages to past and former athletes.”
“In exchange, the NCAA will be allowed to limit the amount each school spends on its athletes per year - an effective salary cap that will start at roughly $20.5 million dollars.”
“The deal also gives the industry’s most powerful conferences an increased ability to police the name, image, and likeness deals between athletes and boosters, which is intended to keep teams from using their boosters to circumvent the $20.5 million cap.”
So who is the sheriff now? Is it the conferences watching themselves….? Or is it the old Deputy Dawg NCAA trying to figure out who really did buy that Dodge Charger?

without collective bargaining and a players union, none of this will hold up in court. They can't cap earnings like that, regardless of the arbitrary high number they use, without consent (bargaining) from the actual players/athletes. That's the only way professional leagues are able to have salary caps

Some lawyer of a player will drag them back into court…

The NCAA has lost 99% of lawsuits the last 10 years.

I don't pretend to understand every nuance of this, but I believe the House v. NCAA settlement included roster caps and scholarship changes, which already aims to address potential litigation.
More than likely (I assume) it will be a starting place for collective bargaining negotiations.

I don’t see how on earth they would enforce that. Professional athletes do endorsement deals all the time outside of their contracts.
What’s to keep the boosters from doing “endorsement deals”?

There are many moving parts to this settlement, and lots of details that I have not seen.
However, in no way do I see collective bargaining happening in the near future. There are too many powerful entities that would fight attempts to organize (NCAA, conferences, universities, agents, some athletes that do not want constraints on the deals they can make,…..etc), and there appears to be no serious organizing effort by a Union that could pull it together.

Kinda ironic Ole Miss is the last school the NCAA fricked with sanctions and now Ole Miss is one of the most successful schools using NIL.
This is clearly targeting ole miss.
