The NCAA and power conferences are in "deep discussions" to settle the House v. NCAA class action lawsuit, per ESPN's Pete Thamel and Dan Murphy, who report: "While sources stressed that no deal is imminent, details about what a multibillion-dollar settlement could look like are expected to be shared with campuses in the near future. There are myriad variables to get to the finish line and still some obstacles and objections at the campus level, but sources indicate that progress has ramped up in recent weeks. A settlement would provide some legal relief for a college sports industry that's been peppered by lawsuits. It could also serve as a keystone piece to formulating a more stable future. With the settlement expected to cost billions in back pay for former athletes, it would likely also require the NCAA and conferences to agree to a system for sharing more revenue with some of the players moving forward."

U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Pete Ricketts (R-NE) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asking for update on department's progress toward adjusting immigration laws so foreign student-athletes can make money from NIL. From the letter: “While many students have rightfully benefitted from these new opportunities, international college athletes and college athletic programs face a credible risk that even the most basic NIL deal could violate the work restrictions of the F-1 visa. DHS could clarify that the F-1 visa program does not prevent a student from engaging in NIL related activities, securing college athletes’ economic opportunities and easing concerns that students and schools might run afoul of the law. Unfortunately, the tens of thousands of international students competing in NCAA competitions have been deprived of these economic opportunities because of a lack of guidance on, or changes to, the conditions of their student visas by DHS.” The senators note that DHS last year committed to moving quickly on this matter but has issued no update to its rules. “We request a written update on what steps DHS has taken to follow through on your commitment to protect those international college athletes and schools that seek to benefit from the blood, sweat, and tears they put into their sport.” (link)

[...] We truly are blazing trails of success as we equip our student-athletes for lives of leadership and service.” Rickabaugh Graphics with the assist. (link)

New York State Gaming Commission Chairman Brian O’Dwyer last week sent a letter to NCAA President Charlie Baker in which he endorsed a nationwide ban on prop bets on college athletes. O’Dwyer: “With the commencement of legal sports wagering in our state, the New York State Gaming Commission made a policy determination to prohibit individual athletic-based proposition betting within any collegiate event, as we shared the same desire to insulate student-athletes from potential harassment regarding their performance. We are pleased that many states have followed our lead and have since adopted such a similar restriction. As regulators of the largest sports betting market in the United States, we continue to believe the prohibition of college proposition betting on student-athletes is appropriate. New York State appreciates your efforts to help implement this important protective measure nationwide.” (link)
