Potential settlement in House vs. NCAA antitrust lawsuit could lead to $3B compensation for athletes over 10 years, with $20M annually for athletes and potential program cuts in non-revenue sports.

A potential settlement in the House vs. NCAA antitrust lawsuit could lead to a compensation model for college athletes, costing nearly $3 billion in damages over 10 years for the NCAA and involving $300 million commitments per school from wealthiest conferences over the same period, with around $20 million annually directed towards paying athletes. This settlement could result in program cuts for non-revenue sports and raise questions about equal funding for male and female athletes under federal gender equity law Title IX.
