Indiana University cuts 25 jobs in athletics to adjust to new NCAA athlete compensation rules.

Indiana University has laid off 25 employees in its athletic department to prepare for new revenue-sharing with athletes, which will allow schools to pay players based on their name, image, and likeness earnings. This move comes amid financial pressures from the NCAA's decision to distribute $2.8 billion to former athletes previously barred from earning such income. The university aims to reduce its athletic department budget by about 10% across divisions like compliance and communications, while ensuring no sports programs, coaches, or team staff will be cut.
