The NCAA approved the rules on Monday that would make decades or precedents by allowing the conferences to pay their athletes for terms of a multi -million dollar demand agreement that is expected to enter into force this summer.
The nine proposals approved by the NCAA Board were largely expected, but they still mark a defining day in the history of university sports. The ability of an athlete to be paid directly by his university is on his way to being consecrated in a rules book that has forbidden that son of the relationship for decades.
In order for the NCAA rules to enter into force, the changes prescribed by the agreement of the House of Representatives must still be granted a final approach by a federal judge, whose hearing earlier this month led to questions about the possible adjustment before the new guidelines.
The changes will eliminate around 150 rules and alter many others in the extensive Rules Book of the NCAA. Basically they encode measures established by the settlement, which include:
—In modifiers to allow schools to pay directly to athletes.
—Cellery scholarship limits for equipment, while setting list limits designed to replace scholarship limits. Some details of the boundaries of the list, which were a key conflict point in the audience of April 7, will end later.
—It is annual reports for schools that pay athletes; A group of payments will be approximately $ 20.5 million for larger schools that begin next academic year.

—The compensation house for the entire name, image and likeness (null) agreements that come from third parties and cost HEMTH $ 600 or more.
—Anthesing the authority to an execution agency developed by the conferences appointed as defendants in the lawsuit to enforce the new rules approved to implement the terms of the agreement. This includes compliance with the limits of the list, the payment of direct benefits to the players and the compliance requirements for third -party offers.
