On Wednesday morning, it was reported that the NCAA will be proposing a new subdivision within college football that would allow schools to compensate their student-athletes through a trust, as well as through NIL directly from the school. Until now, for decades, the multi-billion dollar industry of college athletics has only resulted in payouts for the schools themselves. This proposal would mark possibly the biggest change in college athletics ever, finally allowing hard-working student-athletes to be paid for their efforts.
