In a major step, which will begin to pay schools directly to their athletes, NCAA Division I Board of Directors proposed to remove 153 rules from their handbook as part of nine potential legislative changes in Monday’s meeting.
The proposals pending the approval of settlement of $ 2.8 billion in the previous year of three separate antitrust cases against NCAA and college sports power conferences. Proposals include name image and equality compensation and regulation, roster limit from scholarship range, eligibility standards and construction of a legal entity to oversee the enforcement of updated athlete compensation rules in Division I in the construction of a legal unit.
If the disposal is approved, the NCAA said that the schools will have to decide by June 15 whether to provide benefits for the educational year to come, with the proposed proposal to be effective on July 1, according to the settlement, the schools in which the selected, will start sharing $ 20.5 million with their athletes, which will end many long rules of NCA, which will end many long rules.
According to the NCAA, the elimination of those 153 rules is pending a decision from the US District Court Judge Claudia Wilcane whether the approval of settlement is finalized. Wilchen provided initial approval last year and appears ready to push through it.
Wilchen said, “I think (settlement) is worth chasing and I think some of these things can be decided if people try to fix them, and that it would be worth them to try to fix them,” Wiliken said first.
Regarding roster boundaries – a point of dispute during last year’s hearing – changing the existing scholarship boundaries will expand the amount of full scholarship that is allowed to introduce schools. According to NCAA, the law will double the scholarship available in women’s game. It will also reduce the number of walk-on or partial-skolarship opportunities in some sports.
The proposals also included a indigo clearinghouse and enforcement hand that operates outside the NCAA “with rules for all divisions to bring clarity and stability to NIL environment for schools.”
The NCAA also proposed rules to prevent schools from trying to bypass $ 20.5 million cap, which requires all players to disclose their zero agreements if they are $ 600 or more. Any compromise between a school and a player outside a player will be subject to review.
According to the NCAA, the goal of the enforcement group will be to provide inspection for terms related to settlement terms including third-party nil and annual profit cap. “
