This week, university presidents across the country are set to convene to decide on a proposed settlement of an antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA. The settlement, if accepted, would require the NCAA to pay nearly $3 billion and establish a groundbreaking revenue-sharing system with college athletes.
However, there has been resistance from some Division I conferences not involved in major college football. These conferences argue that they are being unfairly burdened with the financial responsibility of the damages portion of the settlement.
