Andrew Brandt, former vice president of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers, started as a consultant for the University of Louisville Athletic Association (ULAA) in January to help U of L navigate the upcoming era of college sports.

The House vs. NCAA settlement, finally approved by Judge Claudia Wilken on Friday, established a revenue-sharing system whereby schools can directly pay their athletes starting July 1 with a $20.5 million cap per institution. Brandt is charged with helping the Cards negotiate contracts and handle “free agency every year” via the transfer portal.
