NCAA passes new rules to allow direct payments to players
Briefly

The NCAA has approved rules that will allow colleges to pay athletes directly, changing longstanding traditions within college sports. These rules are a result of a settlement from a multibillion-dollar lawsuit and are expected to take effect on July 1. Key changes include eliminating scholarship limits, establishing new rosters, and the creation of a clearinghouse for name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals. Although significant, official implementation awaits final approval from a federal judge and not all schools may participate in this new system.
The NCAA's recent rule changes mark a watershed moment in college sports, allowing universities to pay athletes directly, a practice long prohibited.
With the passing of nine proposals, the NCAA's updated rules signify a major shift, eliminating restrictions that previously barred direct payment to athletes.
