May 21, 2024, 05:22 PM

The Big 12 presidents and chancellors have unanimously voted to approve the settlement terms in the House v. NCAA lawsuit, marking a significant step toward resolving the case. This decision makes the Big 12 the first of the Power 5 conferences to authorize the settlement, with other conferences expected to vote in the coming days. The settlement could reshape college sports by moving towards a revenue-sharing model, addressing internal pushback within the NCAA ranks, and raising questions about the future of college athletics. The Big 12 leaders were briefed on the settlement’s 13-page term sheet. The NCAA Board of Governors is also expected to vote on the settlement terms.
