The House case settlement, if it ever gets finalized, gives the NCAA's hand picked clearinghouse the power to declare any private NIL deal over $600 invalid.How can they prohibit the private guys? Even if they get in the direct pay mode? Why would they want to?
That's a backdoor way to drive private NIL collectives out of the market. As soon as any athlete sues about that on Sherman Antitrust Act grounds, it will start the next round of court cases because a settlement can't supercede federal law. It's unlikely that the NCAA ever gets a legal way to regulate private NIL, even with an antitrust exemption.
