NCAA Approves Historic $2.8B Settlement to Pay College Athletes

The NCAA and Power 5 conferences have agreed to a historic settlement allowing schools to pay athletes directly, potentially ending the tradition of amateurism in college sports. The settlement, pending federal approval, includes $2.75 billion for athletes who competed before July 2021 and a future revenue-sharing model where schools can distribute around $20 million annually to athletes. Key issues remain unresolved, such as which athletes will be compensated, gender pay equity, and the impact on smaller schools. The settlement does not end the NCAA's antitrust challenges.

The model provides a baseline career projection for each player and updates it as they play, placing more weight on their actual performance. The rankings highlight quarterbacks like Kedon Slovis, Bo Nix, and Cade McNamara, while also noting the limitations of the model and the need for more data throughout the season.
