Today we’re talking about the House Settlement.
On Friday afternoon, the college sports world officially changed when the House Settlement, the multi-billion antitrust settlement against the NCAA and defendant conferences, was officially approved by a federal judge. It clears the way for schools to begin paying their players as soon as this year. And while it’s much, much more complicated than that, we don’t necessarily have the time (here, at least) to dig into it anymore.
We do know, however, that Mizzou is ready to welcome this new world. On Sunday, Athletic Director Laird Veatch sent out a public letter declaring as much:
As we’ve shared with you previously, our Mizzou Athletics staff has spent the past year preparing for this outcome, and while we recognize the operational shifts this requires, we are approaching the new era with a sense of purpose and optimism.
