Former college athletes are due for a payday after the NCAA Board of Governors voted to agree to settle House v. NCAA and other antitrust cases related to it, ESPN reported Wednesday. With the NCAA's board agreeing to the terms of the settlement, former college athletes are one step closer to getting over $2.7 billion in back damages over the next decade because of previous restrictions on Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deals. Future athletes would also benefit, as the Big 12, Atlantic Coast Conference and Big Ten -- three of the defendants in the case -- are hoping to put a system in place that would give schools the power to pay them about $20 million per year in permissive revenue sharing.
