NCAA Agrees to Let Power Five Schools Pay Players

Share

The NCAA is in agreement with the power five conferences on a historic deal.  Schools are now allowed to directly pay players for the first time in the history of college sports.  According to ESPN, the NCAA will pay more than 2.7-billion-dollars in damages over 10 years to past and current athletes.  The parties have also agreed to a revenue-sharing plan that allows each school to share up to 20-million-dollars per year with its athletes.  All Division One athletes dating back to 2016 will be eligible to receive a share as part of the settlement.
