NCAA President Charlie Baker, attending the ACC spring meetings in Amelia Island, discussed the ongoing settlement talks in the House v. NCAA antitrust lawsuit. Baker emphasized the importance of the settlement in providing clarity and planning for the future of college sports. He mentioned the potential for a settlement to bring about $3 billion in back-pay damages to athletes and initiate a revenue-sharing model starting in 2025. Baker highlighted that while he is not setting a deadline for the decision, the outcome could significantly impact the landscape of college sports. The NCAA and schools are expected to decide if they want to accept the terms of the settlement by May 23.
