U.S. colleges agree to share $2.8B with athletes, but expansion and lawsuits create uncertainty.

After a $2.8 billion settlement, U.S. colleges are set to share revenue with athletes, but questions remain about compensation and roster management. The Pac-12 conference is expanding, adding Texas State and welcoming programs from the Mountain West, fueling realignment across college sports. This causes uncertainty for colleges and athletes.
