House vs NCAA and the Future of College Sports

The House vs NCAA settlement authorizes schools to directly share a portion of their revenue directly with student-athletes.  The settlement caps these payments at roughly $20.5 million per shool in the first year.  This amount is expected to encompass all varsity sports.  How this money ends up being allocated will be one of the questions.   Roger Noll will be speaking about the impact of this decision on college sports.

Roger G. Noll is professor emeritus of economics at Stanford University.  Previously Noll was a Senior Economist at the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and Institute Professor of Social Science at the California Institute of Technology.  Noll has published 17 books and over 400 articles and reviews on technology policy, antitrust, regulation, the political economy of public policy and public law, and the economics of sports and entertainment.  Among these are Government and the Sports Business, the first comprehensive analysis of professional team sports, and Sports, Jobs and Taxes, an analysis of the economic impact of a sports team on the local economy.
