“Over the years, many have called out ‘inflection points’ in higher education and college athletics. If this settlement is approved by Judge Wilken, it will mark an entirely new era and relationship between higher education institutions and their varsity athletes. Rather than viewing athletes merely as students, universities will need to consider that these athletes may bring agents, lawyers, financial analysts, and brand marketers to the table when being recruited to play for your school.”
--Dr. Karen Weaver
