ACC approves settlement in House vs NCAA
The Atlantic Coast Conference took a big step towards changing the landscape of college sports last night by approving the proposed settlement in the House vs NCAA court case.
The Big 12 had approved the proposal earlier in the day. The SEC and Big Ten are expected to do the same this week.
House vs NCAA is a case brought by former athletes who were barred from earning NIL when they played for NCAA programs. The proposed settlement is two-fold. It will involve back payment to former athletes while also changing the business model of the NCAA moving forward to include revenue sharing with the athletes.
There are a lot of questions that remain to be answered or decided, but the basic framework of the deal would allow schools to share up to $20 million of athletic department revenues (including television revenue) with the student-athletes.
ACC presidents and chancellors have voted to authorize House settlement terms, sources tell @YahooSports, joining the Big 12 as the second of the five power conference boards to make a decision.

The settlement stops short of labeling the student-athletes as employees and would not include collective bargaining. Those are steps that could still be taken at a later time.
Schools would not be required to share revenue with athletes. $20 million is an upper limit and not a requirement.
