Judge approves proposed NCAA NIL/roster settlement

NCAA puts some $270 mil annually in a fund to pay out - mostly to football…. $20 mil right away

Roster limits will be phased in - 15 for basketball- BUT nobody will lose a roster spot- so current walk-ons will be “grandfathered in” and can stay on the roster even if they exceed 15-- but this exception applies only to those walk-ons who played last year. Final details still being worked out. NIL payments will be subject to NCAA review & control.

So Bradley can have more than 15 on the roster - prob just 16, but how many depends on if either of the other walk-ons get an extra year.

What is interesting is that this settlement sets up a policing/enforcement system to guard against schools cheating or paying excessive NIL money to players, which IMO will surely happen from day 1. A new enforcement organization, called the College Sports Commission will be established to oversee the new system to make sure schools structure their NIL and payments fairly and according to the rules. The CSC will also hand out penalties to schools that violate the rules. So expect schools like Bradley and Drake to be nailed with sanctions.

MLB exec to lead new college enforcement arm

Major League Baseball executive Bryan Seeley will become the CEO of the new College Sports Commission, a vital enforcement arm that will have final say in doling out punishments and deciding when rules have been broken in the post-House settlement era.

Also, "clearinghouse" called "NIL Go" will be established to review all NIL deals in excess of $600. The seems like it would include most NIL deals. For now, it will be run by the private accounting firm of Deloitte. If an NIL deal is deemed excessive, a 3rd party "arbiter" could rule an athlete ineligible or fine a school. Let's see if that ever happens. :roll:
Deloitte officials reviewed past NIL deals in the ACC and reported to ACC members that 70% of past deals from NIL collectives would have been denied, while 90% of past deals from public companies would have been approved.
 
I agree
As is the case the past several decades, those school that are found with violations & then hit with sanctions always seem disproportionately to be small schools & midmajors.
The big schools get away with murder and even when caught with serious major violations - get away with no penalties (the UNC academic scandal, UGA paying $200K to land Cam Newton)

Many looked to April's hearing about the House settlement as a culmination of sorts, but the court's final approval of the settlement in fact marks a new beginning

The last paragraph is important. There will undoubtedly be lawsuits from past, present, and future athletes who feel they aren't getting what they believe is their "fair share" of the massive pie. And there will be lawsuits from athletes in the non-revenue sports who aren't getting much, if any, of the monies. And, of course, there will be lawsuits from athletes in women's sports who claim Title IX violations.
Plus, as far as I can find, this settlement doesn't delineate clearly how to regulate the payments made directly to athletes from donors, sponsors, advertisers, and other 3rd party entities, nor the under-the-table payments to athletes that has always happened and will continue unchecked. The elite athletes will still cash in on big money that doesn't come directly from the schools and won't be reported to the College Sports Commission (the enforcement bureau). This is bound to become so messy that the NCAA will eventually disband and disappear. And among other changes, this will surely lead to athletes forming unions for collective bargaining and to make sure everyone, even the scrubs get paid.
