Per the news:

In a major move that would allow schools to start directly paying their athletes, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors proposed deleting 153 rules from its handbook as part of nine potential legislative changes at a Monday meeting.

The proposals are pending approval of the $2.8 billion House settlement reached last year of three separate antitrust cases against the NCAA and college sports' power conferences. The proposals include name image and likeness compensation and regulation, a change from scholarship limits to roster limits, eligibility standards and the creation of a legal entity to oversee enforcement of the updated athlete compensation rules in Division I.

If the settlement is approved, the NCAA said schools would have until June 15 to decide whether to opt in to provide benefits for the coming academic year, with the proposal slated to take effect July 1. Per the settlement, schools that opt in would begin sharing $20.5 million per year with its athletes beginning in August, ending many of the NCAA's longstanding rules of amateurism.


Your thoughts please!!!

I personally hate it but others on this board will no doubt love it!
