Baker discusses NIL in new revenue sharing world

College sports are in for a major shakeup thanks to the House Settlement, which will introduce revenue sharing—letting schools pay student-athletes directly. But don’t count out NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals just yet; they’re still part of the game. NCAA president Charlie Baker’s recent comments highlight how these two systems might coexist in this new era.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about money—it’s a turning point for how college sports operate. For years, athletes couldn’t earn a dime from their talent, and now the floodgates are opening. Revenue sharing could level the playing field for smaller schools, while NIL deals let stars cash in on their fame. But how these systems clash or complement each other will shape the future of the sport. If you care about fairness, fandom, or the business behind the games, this is worth watching.
