Among the key changes would be up to $25 million devoted to a “retention” pool that would allow schools to pay athletes already on their rosters to stay.
That would be in addition to the $21.3 million schools are allowed to spend this season.
The House settlement, which dictates the terms of revenue sharing, calls for 22% of certain revenues to be shared with the athletes.
“Even if they do act, there’s still a lot of issues that they won’t address and they probably can’t address legally,” White said.
“And so ultimately, we’d like to see something put together in a package where the benefits outweigh some of the potential negatives.”
