Two events involving the NCAA could potentially change the face of NCAA sports.
First, the NCAA Board of Director approved a proposal to allow the Big 5 Conferences (ACC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12, SEC) more autonomy in setting rules, especially with regard to increased compensation, expanded benefits (e.g. meals), staffing and time demands. It is widely believed that the non-Big 5 schools will face financial pressure to keep up. Link: ESPN
Second, in the landmark "O'Bannon et al" court case, US District Judge Cynthia Wilkins ruled that the NCAA unreasonably limits trade with respect to player compensation. The scope of this case was limited to football and basketball. Specifically, the ruling deals with compensation regarding the use of "Names, Images and Likenesses" (NIL). This particulaly relates to TV broadcasting rights, and the use of NIL during the broadcast. Other cases are pending and this one may be appealed. Link: USA Today Article
