NCAA could pay more than $2.7B to settle NIL antitrust suit


The NCAA's national office might be footing the bill for a settlement expected to be more than $2.7 billion in the landmark House v. NCAA antitrust lawsuit in hopes of reshaping and stabilizing the college sports industry, according to multiple sources on Thursday.

Sources told ESPN this week that parties have proposed the NCAA's national office -- rather than its individual member schools or conferences -- would pay for the settlement of past damages over a period of 10 years. The NCAA payments would be paid to former college athletes who say they were illegally prevented from making money by selling the rights to their name, image and likeness.

Did he show up yesterday? If so how long is his visit?

State lawmakers want to require UNC and NC State to play football and basketball games against other in-state public schools on a regular basis. Under a bill filed by Republican House members, UNC and NC State would be required to play at least one of ECU, App State, and Charlotte every year and play each school home and away every six years.

Do most live for the portal and "the moment" or do you put your priorities more on developing the incoming classes and developing a team over time? Has Carolina basketball taken a back seat to a "live for the moment" mentality? Over time how will potential pro recruits look at UNC as a place to showcase their talents for whatever time they may be here if their positions will be recruited over for upper class men ala dook. I am in no way a fan of individual "all to one NIL $$" because it promotes individuality and destroys the team concept. To me it just seems the purity of college athletics has been f'd by the NCAA but that's what they do best via officiating, scheduling and NCAAT selection. But at the end of the day it seems the individual programs .. and coaches, are the ones that make of it as they will. jmo

At the airport. Told him how happy everyone was he was coming back. He said he was happy and the support was amazing. Told how much he improved this year and he said he was going to take the next step up. Nice young man.

Who else will help pick up the 35 points lost

I've been assured by a source he is coming back. That same individual admitted he wasn't sure what the holdup is, but thinks he may be aggravated with some national guys who reported back in the week he would be back. His way of getting back at them maybe. That was a guess, but the return is not.

Not sure if this has been discussed here, but Gus Ritchey has transferred to Cary HS, where Trey goes. Word is that Gus is putting the full court press on Trey to flip to $tate, just like he did. It will be interesting to see how it plays out over the next few months.
