Cleveland hosts March Madness; NCAA settlement hearing upcoming

cleveland.com

Cleveland is hosting NCAA Tournament games this week as March Madness kicks off. This event occurs just before a significant settlement hearing on April 7 that could change college athletics. The House vs. NCAA settlement involves back-pay of about $2.6 billion for athletes and new revenue-sharing rules. Schools will have roster limits instead of scholarship limits, and athletes must report NIL earnings over $600. If approved, the settlement will take effect on July 1. It aims to address financial disparities in college sports, but concerns remain about governance and the impact on various athletic programs.
