College Athletes’ Voices are Valuable Missing Piece of House Settlement

NIL Daily/Sports Illustrated  |  Jun 05, 2025

The House v. NCAA settlement has yet to be approved, and it remains an imperfect solution to college sports in the NIL era.

The harsh truth is that it didn’t need to be this way. Simply put, it should have taken input from college football and basketball players — those most affected by revenue sharing.

The NCAA has consistently lost litigation due to athletes not agreeing to the set rules. It’s why the transfer portal rules were eradicated and why NIL is legal and without guardrails at present.
