The recent House v. NCAA settlement launched a significant transformation in college sports governance. During a remote news conference, key commissioners discussed the need for congressional assistance to establish codified rules and antitrust protections in light of ongoing legal challenges. They revealed that the planned distribution of $20.5 million in athlete funding will be decided at the campus level, not by conferences. While concerns over potential cheating remain, the commissioners expressed optimism about their progress-oriented approach, highlighted by the establishment of the College Sports Commission to oversee these changes.
"Together, the quintet reiterated the need for congressional help to codify rules and provide antitrust protection to end the barrage of legal challenges to the NCAA."
"They explained that the distribution of $20.5 million to athletes will not be determined at the conference level, but will be a campus decision."
"If effort and determination count, the clean-up effort could succeed. It's progress over perfection, and we're providing rules that govern our actions."
"There will be challenges. However, our schools want rules, and we will govern ourselves according to those rules, imposing penalties for violations."
