Schools to revenue share and fund NIL

System · July 22

All of the portal stuff seems to have missed this discussion, unless I missed it.

As part of the proposed House v. NCAA settlement, schools will be allowed to share up to $20.5 million in athletic department revenue with their student-athletes each year via Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. This figure is expected to increase over the 10-year lifespan of the settlement. Schools will also be able to pay athletes directly, in addition to the NIL deals that they can pursue on their own.

This should reduce the third-party collectives influence - I have to imagine that this helps UW more than hurts it.
