While a federal judge considers whether to approve a massive NCAA settlement that would pay athletes over $2 billion and pave the way for even more spending, a large group of industry officials returned to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to lobby lawmakers on legislation to land some antitrust protection for some of the final vestiges of college athletics' amateurism model. Commissioners of the Power Four conferences, dozens of athletic directors from the SEC, ACC, Big Ten and Big 12, and even some coaches and players spent hours meeting with members of Congress. “We had great dialogue throughout the day, so I’m very optimistic we can get there,” Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark said.

"summary",
"The meeting aimed to pave the way for a massive NCAA settlement that would pay athletes over $2 billion. The settlement, which was approved by the defendants and plaintiffs in May 2024, would provide antitrust protection and standardize rules nationwide for name, image and likeness (NIL) payments, the transfer portal, and whether college athletes should be considered employees. The stakeholders emphasized the need for quick action to address the current chaos in college athletics, particularly the unsustainable volume of player movement through the transfer portal."
