NCAA President Charlie Baker has proposed a groundbreaking plan to allow some schools to pay their athletes directly through name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, removing the cap on education-related payments. The proposal has been met with praise, caution, and questions from college sports stakeholders. However, multiple legal challenges, including antitrust lawsuits from seven states, have been filed against the NCAA's transfer eligibility rule, which could impact the proposal. Baker's plan aims to benefit women athletes and Olympic-sport athletes, while also maintaining traditional championships. The proposal has sparked debates about the impact on smaller schools and potential unintended consequences.
