“To the extent the rule is implemented immediately it would directly violate the settlement. Our team is reviewing the rule and intends to fight any proposed limit to what the NCAA and conferences agreed to under the House settlement. Any cap that would keep schools from facilitating deals is a step in the wrong direction, and that the Big Ten tried to give this rule the moniker of 'protecting' college sports is a tired spin on its old hat arguments.”
Said the Big Ten's new $27.5 million cap on school-arranged third-party NIL deals would violate the House settlement if implemented immediately, and vowed to fight it.
