Significant Settlement Allows Colleges to Directly Pay Athletes

The NCAA and Power Five conferences reaching a settlement pave the way for colleges to pay athletes directly, a groundbreaking move altering the foundation of collegiate athletics. This shift highlights a departure from the longstanding concept of amateurism that the NCAA upheld.
