On June 6, Judge Claudia Wilken of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California approved a settlement agreement between the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), power conferences, and current and former Division I athletes represented in the House, Carter, and Hubbard antitrust suits.
The landmark settlement represents the most significant transformation in college athletics history. With the court approval of the $2.8 billion settlement, universities can now directly compensate student-athletes through revenue sharing for the first time ever. This seismic shift affects every stakeholder in collegiate sports.
