The settlement in House v. NCAA (“House Settlement”) was formally approved by Judge Claudia Wilken on June 6, 2025. The House Settlement is poised to bring significant changes to the landscape of college athletics, with schools now permitted to make direct payments to student-athletes. This shift introduces a range of legal and operational challenges that increasingly mirror the compensation structures of professional sports. Navigating this new environment will require legal and financial expertise traditionally found in the professional sports world. Issues related to contract structuring and enforceability, salary caps, and endorsement deal oversight will become central to how athletic programs operate and make strategic decisions. These concepts extend beyond compliance and will play an integral role in roster building, financial planning, and long-term program sustainability and success.
