After hanging in limbo for nearly two months, the House settlement is finally approved, which means $2.8 billion in NIL backpay will be distributed to former NCAA athletes.

Schools will begin directly paying their athletes in less than a month, thanks to a legal settlement that was officially approved in federal court Friday. However, the situation is far from settled.
