Brendan Sorsby’s $1M NIL Showdown Could Shake College Football to Its Core: What’s at Stake?
After the House v. NCAA settlement in June 2025, schools were allowed to share up to $20.5 million per year directly with players. Still, this would still be termed as an ‘NIL payment.’ The NCAA has been trying to seek federal intervention to prevent student-athletes from acquiring the ’employed’ term. This would complicate the whole landscape in college sports, because labor laws will enter the fold. The SCORE Act, which tackled this problem for the NCAA, fell apart in Congress. But payment is something that some lawyers feel is a warranted right for these players, because many athletes are treated like employees.
