Power Four conference commissioners jointly addressed the House settlement in a call on Monday afternoon.

 

Even within the hope and belief they all shared in what the House settlement means for college athletes came an acknowledgement there is still plenty of work left to be done. There are still plenty of big questions looming over college sports, including the legality of revenue sharing and NIL from Title IX and enforcement perspectives.

 

Below are key takeaways from what the commissioners had to say on the past, present and future of college athletics as it prepares to take a monumental step forward beginning July 1 when universities can begin directly paying their athletes.

 

* Affiliation agreements not done yet

* No sport-specific salary caps

* Why a MLB executive will run enforcement arm

* Sankey meets with Trump

* Leaders still want Congressional help

'Market value' in the world of capitalism is what someone or some entity is willing to pay you. 

 

The House settlement simply means more billable hours for the sharks, er, lawyers.

 

OBD is a member of the group that just agreed to pay $500 million plus to the plaintiff's attorneys and also paid its share of the cost of defending the litigation.

 

House settles with three groups of plaintiffs and that's it. Existing litigation against the NCAA, like Reggie Bush vs. the NCAA, continues and will be added to by the new suits post-House.

Now that the NCAA has taken care of its business, its president wants Congress to deliver. NCAA President Charlie Baker. long a proponent of federal legislation to lock in some of the seismic...

 

He's aware that NIL Go, does an NIL deal exceed market value, will not likely hold up in a court of law.

 

Two states, one being in SEC country, Tennessee, passed laws before the House settlement was approved, that restricts House settlement agreed upon enforcement against schools in their state. 

 

The SEC as one of the House defendants approved the settlement terms. Where does this leave the Vols and the Commodores?
